Default What kinda Gain from Lt's?

Hey everyone, I was just wondering what kinda HP and TQ gains could I hope for with my car. It is my 01 SS and I am going to be putting Pacesetter Lt's on it hopefully... I wanna do a true dual system with an X and most likely get it dyno tuned... My previous dyno numbers and ET are stated below... Thanks ALOT!!!

I'd say 20 rwhp is about right. Its definately worth it. You'll be able to feel it for sure.

when we first built the motor it was set-up with a safe nitrous tune and managed to get 450rwhp, after bumping the timing up and a better tune it pulled 475rwhp. the best et was 11.18@124 on motor with that nitrous tune
