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.

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.
