At the same time, Ive done cam/spring swaps anywhere from 3.5 hours start to finish to 8 hrs, so it just depends. I could see (if you were BSing a lot, or had removal problems) it taking 8 hours for headers and Y

On a stock tune at the tires on a Dynojet
Stainlessworks catback -- 7.7hp/6.8 ft lbs.
Stainlessworks LT's w/cats -- 9.8hp and 10.3 ft lbs
Not huge gains, but they were across the curve and the truck sounds wicked.
The Nelson tunue on top of these mods was good for another 15hp and 15ft lbs.

I have the corsa sport cat back and love it! I love the fact that not all the time it rumbles, and is dead quiet inside! Seems like it does not really kick it up until the 3000-5000 rpm range. Am I thinking right here that after putting on a $800 catback, that long tube headers are my best way to acheive this? Sorry for the Noob questions!
Most, if not all, of the trucks running LT's are doing cams, heads, or FI and will need the extra flow. It's too much time/money for "rumble".
