LT Headers, LS6 intake, and MTI tuning = 15hp??
LT Headers, LS6 intake, and MTI tuning = 15hp?? I dynod my car before I added tuning, ls6 intake and jet hot headers and I got 323 hp and with the additional mods listed I only got 15 hp, to 338. TQ increased by even less. Does this seem low to anyone? I guess it might be about the average but I was kind of expecting atleast 20 from all that. No 1/4 times and no SOTP verdict yet b/c it has been raining since I got it done. What do you think?

Re: LT Headers, LS6 intake, and MTI tuning = 15hp?? i really hope you meant to type 323 not 232
Cause if you got 232 andonly 15 more... then i dont know what to tell you... But i would have expected more than 15 with that work.

Re: LT Headers, LS6 intake, and MTI tuning = 15hp?? Both dynos were at MTI.
There was a pretty bad storm going on outside while I was dynoing this time as opposed to a clear day last time but I don't know how that effects dyno numbers. If the correction factors even it out or what.
I know track numbers will tell the real story but I just took off my bald nittos and put on some regular radials so it would be almost pointless to go to the track with my 3800 stall and street tires.
I am just hoping I didn't waste $1K+ for 15 HP.

Re: LT Headers, LS6 intake, and MTI tuning = 15hp?? If there was a storm going on while you were dynoing, I would take these numbers with a grain of salt. Rain means 100% humidity which means low performance. Dyno on a clear day and then compare.

Re: LT Headers, LS6 intake, and MTI tuning = 15hp?? oh man, I HOPE TO HELL there are outside factors involved here! My heart sank when I read your post! I would feel positively sick if thats all I gained after adding things like that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> (which I will be doing)

Re: LT Headers, LS6 intake, and MTI tuning = 15hp?? Those are great numbers IMO, you need to remember a 3800 stall is going to use about 10-15rwhp compared to the stock torque converter. 338rwhp in a stalled auto is really good <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> Congrats. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

Re: LT Headers, LS6 intake, and MTI tuning = 15hp?? Well I had a 3700 stall in when I dynod my last time as well, but it was the ST 3700 as opposed to my TCS 3800. I don't think that the TCS would be that les efficient though, if at all. And yes, I hope that these numbers are irrelevent to b/c it was storming but doesn't the correction factor even out the weather conditions or does it not take into count the moisture?

Re: LT Headers, LS6 intake, and MTI tuning = 15hp?? Let us know the results if go dyno on a better day. My heart kind of sank as well when I read it. I went from complete stock exhaust to hooker jhc lts and true duals...I don't know what kind of hp increase I would get ..but for the money I spent..I hope it is more than 15.
