Depends on the rest of your setup. Are you talking stock internal? Cam? Heads/cam? Extra cubes? Boost? N2O?

Personally, I don't beleive in cats myself <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Give me an ORY or give me death! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I'd guess that you'd be giving up at least 10-15hp with mac cats over an ORY on a cammed motor. Maybe more....

Get the ORY and just weld in some Carsounds for 125 bucks. They flow really well compared to the Mac ones and dont really give up that much power (5 maybe) over an ORY on a mild setup.
