Default stock manifolds and cat back vs pacesetter lt and dumped?

Ok here's my situation right now I have cc502 with stock manifolds and flowmaster catback. so i just orderd a set of pacesetter lt's with a x-pipe kit from summit and I am wondering what would I gain from changing to this lt dumped system. Hp-tq???

Probably ~15whp/tq. ANYTHING is better than stock manifolds and a Flowmaster.

If you didn't have the cam I'd say you'd pick up like 15-20whp. But with the cam, ditching stock manifolds and crapmaster.

Honestly man its going to be a whole new car, you'll probably see close to 30whp.

Yea I'm still on 1.5 scorpion rr. From my dyno sheet I'm at 300HP & 325 tq with cam,Cai and stock manifolds and slowmaster. Does that sound about right?

When I used to have slp shorties, my car went 110 through stock cat back and muffler and 115 mph dumped after the y pipe. That's A LOT.

Also should I get it retuned or should I wait until I have 1.6 rockers? And what other bolt ons can can I do. I'm looking to get around 380-400rwhp

if its already tuned for the cam, i'd leave it be, when you go to do roller rockers might as well just do heads to even try and get close to your goal. Like stated unless you plan on spraying its not going to happen with stock heads...

Yea its already tuned for the cam. So my best bet is to call up Lloyd and get his stage one heads with his cam and port my intake while I'm at it and bigger throttle body and rockers??

330 is pretty good
do the exhaust
dont go bigger then 52mm throttlebody, stock is proabbly fine at this level
do the 1.6's you can use them on new heads later too anyways so might as well
Make sure you have a cold air intake and clean filter
start dropping weight like crazy
