LT gains My headers are on the way and I'm curious about what kind of gains to expect. Yes I have already searched but mostly see hp numbers which help but also what kind of track gains or "car lengths" can I expect lol ? I already have a LM1 catback and will be putting on an ory made by a local exhaust shop. Yes I know it will probably be loud but we'll see. Let me know what you guys think I can expect .... ? Also what kind of gains with the LTs and a programmer ? I will be probably be borrowing one from a friend next week along with the LTs to run a pony on bottle that barely got me lol

I have no plans on keeping the handheld on my car .... I will be getting hp tuners soon I'm just borrowing the programmer for the weekend as a lil back up for hopefully a few extra hp ....
I put on lt's,ory and a tune by Frost at the same time. It Really woke the car up. It's a bit loud at wot. But I'm ok with that. I think the LM1 cat back sounds good. Most hate it though.
I like it. yeah, the car will wake up quite a bit, OP. Don't expect it to be a night and day difference though...

Yeah I like the sound of my loud mouth so far .... I don't expect it to be a whole different car my car already hangs with most full bolt on cars right now so I guess I'm lucky with it so far . I was just curious of what kind of gain I will make .... I see most people get close to 20 hp untuned and hope for close to that . What kind of gains have most of you seen at the track or side by side comparison in car lengths before n after ?

I ran my car at the 1/8th mile track again to see what I could do before I installed the headers I seem to have a pretty high trap speed as well .... 8.69 at 83.38 .... only mods for power are lid and cat back ....
