Also, we're having a baby so need to curb the car spending a little. Her due date was yesterday but no baby yet...

Take care and stay intouch!

Great news on the baby! Congratualtion. This your first? If so, your world is about to turn upside down and future Camaro mods may take a back burner for a while. Its all good though - my wife and I have raised 3 into adulthood and none of them live with us now. Yea!

I won't be at CFIII. Looks like you'll cover for me by bringing two!

From what has been posted numerous times the LS3 tends to dyno "stock" in the 365-375 HP range. So, honestly I was a little shocked to see the 384 HP on mine. I will most certainly share the "after" results.

First baby...

And don't read too much into "baseline" dynos. They are very inconsistent dyno to dyno.

What you want to look at are gains. You should pick up a good bit by adding all that. My guess is about 80-100 rwhp and 60-70 ftlbs of torque.

Agreed. That is the range of gain I hope to get. In the end its all that matters.

Again, good luck and congrats to the wife and you! Get some sleep now!

When I installed my Borla Headers I used the gaskets that came with them. The felt type.

Vengeance found the problem and replaced them. No problems since.

Call or email them.....the forum PM system isn't the best way to reach any business. They will be more than happy to talk with you.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did they charge you to come pick your car up?
