Default pacesetter install

i just got my pacesetter LT's and ORY in today. they were easy once i got the stock stuff off. this was my first time doing anything this indepth. i broke a spark plug so i had to get new ones. then i broke a plug wire and had to get new ones of them.

after that the headers slipped right in and bolted up.

i love it. it is so loud!!!!!!!! i need to get a cat back so i dont get pulled for it being to loud what should i expect to see out of this stuff on the dyno?

glad you like them...you will notice more of a gain with a catback or a cutout with the headers as well

not exactly, if i were you i would either buy a cutout and run it in the i pipe, or you can buy a catback...i would suggest the catback like a magnaflow which is $389.99 from www.tbyrne.com or pick up a used catback in the parts for sale section.

Most people typically gain 20-25 rwhp from a LT/ORY install. Some cars will really need a tune though to get this out of them.

yes, you do need a tune, your car will be running rich without one...i just installed pacesetters on a TA with a cutout, and it sounds mean, but is running rich...throw a catback or a cutout and really open her up

I picked up 2mph with a heavier race weight. So 20-25rwhp STD, not SAE. I havent re-dyno'd yet but I'll keep you posted if I can get one in before my cam swap.

SDC you lost me on that last post, are you saying that LT's and orp will net you less than 20-25rwhp SAE corrected?

Well I'm saying I gained ~20rwhp in NON SAE conditions. That was with a cutout also. It was probably 66 outside I think SAE is around 72. So they would probably be less due to the correction factor of SAE.

Gains from the tune vary a lot from car to car, but generally you'll get anywhere from 5-15 hp from it.
