Default LTs and ORY are on Woooooot!

Hey guys just picked my car up from the muffler shop. After waiting 2 weeks+ for TSP to ship my stuff they said they had in stock I was chomping at the bit. On the plus side the LTs and ORY (TSP) were great. I got all the other exhaust items from Thunder and they were shipped promptly. Sat on my bench in the garage for a good 10 days atleast. Man this thing runs great. I can stomp it in 2nd and it will BURN the tires from ~40mph. I had Pacesetter LTs with locking stage 8 bolts and new GM gaskets, TSP ORY, Flowtech 3" Cutout and they custom made me a flowmaster 50 series [delta flow](resonance reduction) 3" catback and I stuck my SLP LM Tips back on. It sounds absolutely awesome. At idle, it sounds great at wot it sounds great. I'm exstatic. I was really hoping the 50 series with DF would help tone down the rasp. Note : The rasp is still there but its not any worse than it was with just the stock exhaust manifolds and stock y pipe through the SLP Loudmouth. Its actually a little quieter than with the LM which I didn't expect since the cats are gone. It turned out fantastic.

Woooooo!

Now I just gotta get my ported TB here and its dyno time. I plan to dyno it thru the exhaust and then once thru the cutout and then swap the TB and dyno a couple times. Hoping for 360 with the cutout open and 370 with the ported TB. Then I gotta save for a pulley.

I'm gonna guess you'll be around 350-355. It's pretty rare that a bolton car would hit 370. Many cars with cam are 370-400.

Glad you're happy with your exhaust, but I think that your HP estimates may be a tad bit high.

Get some sound clips if you can.

I'm gonna try to find a mic to hook up to my laptop when I get home.

20rwhp from LTs and the ORY is a bit high?

If I added a ported TB and made 350rwhp I'd torch the car. Seriously.
LTs + ORY + Cutout + Ported TB = 15rwhp? No way.

I'm also hoping for 114mph+ traps.

No, 20rwhp from LTs and an ORY pipe alone isn't unreasonable (though some have gotten less without tuning) at all but a solid 35-40rwhp from LTs, ORY, ported TB and pulley even with the cutout opened might be pushing it.
Congrats on the install.

Thanks,
The way I see it.. I need 20rwhp from the LTs, ORY and cutout.
355rwhp
Then 15rwhp from the Ported TB and ASP Pulley and a tune.
355+15 = 370.

I think its doable.
