Thanks for all this great information! This is the way that all parts should be tested. Were you guys able to tune the car with no other changes yet? I'd be interested in seeing if the power carried out even further with some cam timing adjustments.

All our testing so far has been without tuning. We are testing headers now so we'll be doing testing along with the headers. Stay tuned!!

All the best,

Will do! Even if the headers and tune don't change the shape of the curve at all, it looks like the usable rev range is going to be increased to about 7,000. That's a nice bonus on top of the already impressive gains throughout.

No question. We liked the LS3 MSD offerings but they were harder to justify due to the gains but these LT1 units are absolutely worth every penny. Better bang for your buck than the Headers now.

Will you be trying E85 also? I'd love to see what full bolt-ons, LTs, and a flex fuel tune is good for.

I'd like to see it also. Cunningham Motorsports has a 6th gen that dyno'd at 447/448 with E85 and long tube headers with cats.

With this IM and a ported TB along with the usual, I'm wondering if it would be pushing an 80whp gain over bone stock.

Not long, I was only charged an hour of shop time for it.

Still have to do the exhaust and tune. So I'll have a better estimate when I get the final bill

I mean 80whp on their dyno. I use a Mustang dyno for my cars too, and they are indeed heartbreakers most of the time.
