Default Installed Longtubes, midpipes, catback, intake; How do these gains stack up?

Vehicle: 2010 Camaro SS/RS LS3

Modifications:
JBA Long Tube Headers
JBA Catless Midpipes
JBA 3" Catback
K&N Short Ram Intake
Diablosport Intune w/custom tune

I gained +44whp and +35ft/lbs at peak levels and even more elsewhere in the power band, not too shabby for less than $2000 in part IMHO. How do these gains stack up to those with similar modifications?

Default 13.23@111mph

Sound clips and video coming soon! In other news I was finally able to get this beast down the 1320 and was pretty proud of my times. Take a look and let me know what you guys think!

Please keep in mind I had very little seat time

gains are about average but your times should be better. Work on your launch until your get 1.8 or less 60 ft times and you will be much happier with the times. Launching the LS3 takes some practice. Were you using stockers or DRs?

Your MPH is good. You should be running 12.7 or less ETs.

Running stock tires for now, still looking for more power before we throw on some drag radials and head back to the strip!

If i were you I'd get me some LCAs Trailing arms and tires and get the power you have now to the ground. Horsepower is useless if the car can't hook. Look at all the 1000 HP + Supras that run 12.5.

That dyno looks good for the mods you have. Any updates to how the car has done on the track, or new stuff added to the car?

I'd also upgrade the rear sub-frame bushings and diff bushings. Peddlers Suspension has a several different bushing hardness's to choose from.

Good gains I would say. I wish we gained that much just from exhaust on ls1s.

111mph is normal for a 420rwhp 5th gen? Manual?
