Default Dynoed Hooker LTs and ORY today.

1998 Camaro Z28 A4 GU5

Best Time before headers 13.400 at 105.8
Previous runs were with
MTI Lid, 160 Thermo and Hooker Aero Chamber
Peaked at 5400 rpm. 291 hp and 312 Lb.Tq.
It was 50 degrees low humidity

Today's Run were with
MTI Lid, 160 Thermo, Hooker Aero Chamber,
Hooker LT, and ORP. No Cats.
Peaked at around 5600 rpm. 318 hp and 329 Lb.Tq.
This is from the best of 3 runs.
Air Fuel was always around 12.5 except at idle.
It was 85 degrees 90% humidity,
Barometric Pressure was 29ish

The gains were all over. Greatest gains
were not in the peak power however.
Sounds Awesome, Overall I am pleased.

What should Air Fuel be at? It is rich right?

Did you do the install? How was it? Did they go in from the top or the bottom? Thanks, Shawn

A buddy and I installed them in his garage.
We put rear on ramps (must get the butt of car off the ground) and jacked the front up really really high, then used jackstands.

They go in from the bottom. The install was
smooth except when I tried to get around
from taking things off that needed to come off.

You will need 2 people and 10mm and 11 mm
sockets and wrenches.

The biggest problems were the steering linkage
and the ypipe was a pain as well.
I would not pay a dealership to do this.
It is really not that difficult

I installed mine on the 4th! Drove the car on to the ramps, then jacked up the front about chest hieght using pieces of plywood to build it up. Both went in from the bottom with ease. It was getting the stock manifolds out that was the PITA!
No need to get the "butt of car off the ground" in my situation! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I think 12.5 is pretty good for your a/f. Do you smell raw gas with the orp? Great #'s. It makes you wonder why people still pay more for the other brands that are not Jet Hot coated, and that bang or scrape, and don't really make any more power.
