I just installed my roto-fab intake and jannetty tune to compliment my LT's and no cats. I don't care what anyone says this car is now stupid fast compared to stock and whats funny is I got 12.70's out of it stock. I have yet to install the air scoop and washer bottle relocation kit.
Come on spring!

I was running the car in the 13 teens at 110 on the first 2 outings at 300 and 600 miles but could not get the hang of the launch. I let the rears down to 26 and fronts up to 42 but didn't help. I watched a few vid's and did research and most good drivers were holding RPMs up and slipping the clutch out. My last outing at 900 miles I held the rpm at 3200 and rode it out, I left the tires at stock pressure. went 13.00@110.8 then 1286@111.3 and then the 12.75. I think with more practice I could have maybe seen a 12.5 but that was it for the stock combo.
These cars rock when driven correctly.

ARH and KooK's are your two top brands now for HP. If you want a Stainless header that you will never have a problem with exhaust leaks I would go with the XS Power Header, its made from 321 stainless and is more suited for higher temperatures than the 304 stainless the other companies use.

Dynos can vary greatly though...if you get a heartbreaker you may only barely surpass 400 with bolt ons (I have seen that happen as well)
But for the most part like I said...with the right bolt ons and a good tune 430-440 has been done many times.
The difference after headers and a tune was incredible...it felt like I added a cam lol. The cars have a lot of torque management when stock as well. Have your tuner get rid of it completely (most will for the most part without asking)

I can't stress the change after tune and intake, its hard to believe. I do know my 2000 Z28 ran 12.3's before the tune and 11.7 afterwards. Dyno went from 360 to 415 so tuning is a must when the package is finished.

Most bolt on m6 cars can hit the 430 mark if you run an under drive crank pulley and have a good tuner. The average ls3 bolt on car without a pulley is usually around 415-420rwhp.
