350ish. Those shorty headers might effect your power a little.

350? I was hoping for a little more. The reason I havent replaced the headers is that I didn't think I would see that much of a difference with the converters beinging gutted already. I didn't think it would make that much power difference with a stock motor any way.

You will definately see an improvement with LT's over shorty's, especially once you throw a cam into the mix.

i'd expect at least a 15-20hp gain over the shorty's maybe even more since you are throwing that cam in there...that cam has apretty high lift for that duration i'm going to go as far as saying if you got lt's you'd come close to 380-390...stretching it you might get 400 but i doubt it....

First dyno your car and find out what your base hp is. Then I would say 20>25 hp on top of that. See your intake is hurting along with your shorties.

I love the way mine sounds now. I don't any converters just the shell. Its sounds completely different with out the converters. Its a deep muscle car sound without much rasp. It was really quite before with the cats on. I've got a 2minute video of the thing but I don't have a website put it on. Of course it doesn't have the cam yet.

I will eventually put on an intake, longtubes, and some giggle gas.
