Damn, finally an LS that sounds like a proper smallblock! Too many street cars in SRK .

She sounds healthy, kudo's!! Thanks for making me want to get back on my "race car". It's time for you to troll people with your low stalled auto dyno numbers and take their money...one of the big LT1 NA hitters Mike V only dyno's around 450rwhp through his slushbox but runs 9's NA and its really closer to 700hp LMAO.

I'm expecting between 625 and ~650fwhp NA myself...I'm held back cuz its just a shitty bore limited LT1 .

it's awesome! I don't have a front sway bar, but with this suspension, it feels as rigid as when I did have with the stocker and then some.

I got kooks 1 7/8 with matching y pipe. And I prefer a bit more torque than hp.

I have Kooks LTs, and full TD setup on my 99 as well. I only put the due to the fact that it's on a stock bottom end LS1. It sounds amazing and the install was a breeze. It just doesn't sound like a big cube LSx motor that's all!

I would say yes, but they were installed the same time as the H/C so no back to back dyno or seat of the pants feel. I mostly bought it for the sound and any performance gains over my old LT/GMMG setup is just a bonus. (I sold the old setup to fund the Kooks, otherwise likely wouldn't have wanted to spend so much $$). It is a great system though, very high quality parts.
