HP boost from shorty headers
I was recently fortunate enough to have Flowmaster Scavenger Elite series shorty headers installed on my 2006 GT 4.6L and am trying to get an idea of the HP boost. I have a Bama performance tune and and will dyno in the near future to get an exact read but can anyone provide a fairly accurate guess? 10-15hp would be my number.

do you have a baseline on the car stock dyno , dyno with bama tune, and dyno with bama tune/headers?
Without all three you'll never get an accurate picture of how much power shorties added. Most of the initial gain on an otherwise stock car is the tune.
As for the shorties, maybe 5-7 flywheel Hp if that. They're not significant.

Thanks for the input fellas. I've settled on 5-8 hp gain which is reasonable and logical based on recent readings and comparisons The shorties make a deep rumble that sets the heart to racing and you can FEEL them in the cockpit. Gives me shivers just thinking about it! I know you all get it though so I won't go on
I may post pix when I have time but they are beautiful. Will get all the dyno readings with the diff. tunes over the next month or so, thanks for the suggestions.
