Header Install..Dyno Results! I FINALLY got my Kooks headers and catted y ordered right, after they sent me the wrong ones the first time. It took about 4 hours for the complete install but then I had to wait for the guy who tunes for FBC to get there to start the tuning. When I heard it for the first time when they started it up it sounded bad ***..............and then I drove it 
I have the loudmouth and I knew it was going to be raspy but god damn!! I will say it does sound pretty mean outside of the car and on the way home it kinda grew on me. N-E-ways, the car was kinda slugish at first and then he did some tuning around town which helped. Then we went over the Flowers Performance to do the dyno runs and final tuning. I never had a baseline 
but from listening to everyone with just a lid and exhaust they told me around 305-310. When he did the first pull a could have sworn I felt my ear drums exploding in my head, I couldn't imagine not having any cats. The first pull showed 324rwh and 338flb which I was kinda dissapointed about but I dont know if thats normal or not. Then after the 7th pull he got me up to 330rwh and 343flb which he said wasn't bad for what I had. Overall, the headers fit great and looked good but do the numbers match up close to normal for what ive got?

you should try to get some numbers from other people that have dyno'd there (ask the shop)...because the dynos vary from location to location. Example, I dyno'd 337/348 with a lid, cutout, and some tuning...but that doesn't (and probably shouldn't) mean much to you. I'm sure your car pulls better than mine did at the time.
