Default how much to expect

After a long long long long time of thinking and studying, I went ahed and bought some pacesetters and a tsp true dual system with sweet thunders. I currently have a shitty blowmaster catback. Just wondering how much Hp to expect over my current set up without a tune for the time being.

i got the pacesetter headers, yes they come with gaskets and hardware. they also come with extra wires where you cut your o2 sensor wire to extend them....dont due that....what a headace...you can buy extender wires from pacesetter directly for 50 bucks. i also put intake on with flowmaster 80 series at the same time as the headers, i dont know how much hp it will add but it dropped .9 in the quarter.. hope that helps

FWIW toss the gaskets that come with the pacesetters, they'll leak (like all paper header gaskets) use the stock GM metal ones.
The O2 extension wires, unless you're good with wiring, get the prefabbed extensions, or get the 13111s and you won't need any extensions (the wires are long enough to reach without extensions)
