You could break that down as +25 with the tune and +20 with the headers if you want.
Listen to what Patrick is saying about the dyno being stingy as well. All dynos do not read the same.

Like Patrick said, the manifolds on the LS7s are almost headers already. Unless you stepped up to a huge diameter header you won't see a ton of gain. Good numbers on that Z. Have fun with it.

I really think you could've seen more power if you would've went with LG's baby cam, the longtube headers, and Lou's tune. There baby cam for the C6 Zo6 works with the Z's stock valvetrain. You go to the next stage and you are going into some serious money. G7X2 to X5 cams all require the head to be reworked, and valvetrain must be upgraded.
I think most guys that come in stock and get LG's headers, baby cam, and tune leave with 500-510/515 rwhp and I am not sure on the RWTQ. G7X2 should put you at 520+ rwhp. Lou's car put down 623 rwhp using the G7X5 cam. I saw the car in person and its nothing to mess with. Don't quote me on this but the G7X3 is around 540+ G7x4 is around 580 and the X5 is around 600. Lou's car just happened to make a nasty 623 rwhp.

he just wants a bolt on car for now allngn c5.. hes not lookin to dig into the motor yet. or atleast till the warranty is done. im hookin him up with jeremy formato and hes going to put on his ported manifold and maybe retune the car. And see where we go from there.

The G7X1 cam is the only one that doens't require the reworking of the heads and valvetrain upgrades. 20 rwhp and no difference in driveability. Seems to me that GM didn't want this car to be worked on to much by the aftermarket crew. At least not internally. When I went with the G5X3 cam I didn't have to do anything with my heads. Cam only put down 403 rwhp and 380+ rwtq. Seems like the LS1 and LS6 are easier to work on and pull power out of. The LS7 is just a piece of art straight from the factory.
BOSS APPROVED!

Those number sound about right to me. I'd be happy with that gain.
A 475rwhp C6Z is a monster anyway.
