I'm looking to get some headers. Can't decide. I know you guys in your gxps aren't ls1's so there's gonna be some differences. Anyways, I'm pretty bored because PSN crapped out cuz of the "hackers." Can't wait til they get it back up.

110 on stock trans... Here I come!

There were a couple of 01-02 Camaros hitting 113-115 with bolt-ons and I was like man... i totally have the wrong car. Then I laid the smack down on a G8 GT and a 06 6.0 GTO. We had the same 60ft times too.
I think with traction 3.69's and a 27" drag radial would be ideal.. This car hoohs suprising well.. with my 275's 2.0's all day!

I was half temted to pull the belt and do a hero run. I think our accessories eat up a lot... of power. I have noticed that turning off the dayltime runing lights neted .6 more mph on 2 of my runs..

Dam hackers.. The network has been down for like 3 freaking days.. I've playing black ops split screen and it's getting boring!

Stock exhaust manifolds are good for 350 or so engine hp IMHO. I've had headers on my car with just rockers and exhaust and I didn't notice any gains.. Guessing about 6hp at peak and a loss of low end tq.
I'd put the money into a Intake manifold swap first followed by a cam swap.

Ya, I was going to go with headers, y pipe, exhaust. Then go with intake, and possibly a cam. They say the better your car breathes, the better it will perform.
Lol, I picked up a racing game and souped up a 69 Camaro SS and she flies. But, ya, I was playing zombs solo for awhile and it got boring. These are the times that I wish I had an xbox.

I use a big *** 1" wrench and just lift the belt on and off with some PB blaster sprayed on the wrench. Belt takes about 1min to man handle.
