What sort of gains are people seeing with instillation of headers and tune? I currently have a JLT intake, tune and Custom H-pipe. I'm seriously considering headers but I want to make sure power gain is worth the $1500-2000 I'm going to spend.

Thanks!

Just curious of the results people are seeing with adding LT's

Are they worth the money? I've heard they don't do much for added performance.

Hell yeah it is! Well, Depends! Do you value an extra 15-20 RWHP?

I put down 432/401 with my set up, I don't regret it one bit! Hoping to get on E85 soon for gains.

Plus, Your neighbors will adore the new alarm clock in the neighborhood, everyone will know it's time to wake up.

I've also been waiting on headers. The horsepower gain isn't huge looks like, but I wonder if the heat efficiency is something to consider as a 2nd benefit? Would it help lower engine temps?

Now I was told stock 5.0 puts down 370ish so you're saying your car gained 60whp from a tune, LT's and catback? Holy hell wonder what you're gonna get with E85

Expect in the 25-30whp range. Maybe a little more if catless.

We ran the American Racing Header full system with their 1-7/8" headers and offroad x pipe. We picked up just under 30rwhp and 23rwtq.

Give us a call if you have any questions and we'll be glad to assist you.

Thanks, Jared

So with that along with a FF tune I should be safe to say 50whp isn't out of the question.
