What type of gains are yall seeing with LT headers? Ive heard up to .5 sec. That seems high to me, but the .25 I picked up from LS1 fans seemed high too. I have a free flowing exhaust, just ordered the LT's though.

I know that all of my buddies that have put them on their cars, trucks; they saw anywhere from 25hp to 38hp to the wheels. I never got my Hemi dyno'd after the LT's, but you could definately tell a diff.

.5 seems a little high. I did notice a nice difference with my ASM's but I don't think it was .5 off my 1/4 mile times.

my asm's felt like 2tenths max.. I'd hope I gained 20-25hp atlast from them. But for .5 you are looking at 50hp and I doubt they help that much

To be honest. I didnt feel much if anything but i know that my track times are different from what i would have run without them. Then again, I do have a hard time with the SOTP guager mabob. I ran a 14.7 @ 92 being a sissy off the line cuz i got 1 wheel peel and 3.42s. I didnt even hit 3rd gear!!! I was in need of different gears and a stall. All that is being taken care of though.

Thats why I thought it was a little high. .2 will be good. 1/10th by 1/10th, just 8 more to go
