hands down that is a great deal...go for it.....the LTs should get you 10-15 N/A with a good midpipe.

I agree that's a screamin deal on the headers, but.. You haven't told us what other mods you have. A CAI and tune is considered modding 101.. Do you have that yet?

blah. LT's are ok, but I would go with gears and UDP's. IMO

does anyone have the spyder driveshaft? that free's up a couple hp too right? maybe a driveshaft and pullies might get me more power than the LT's, anyone have an opinion?

Dont go with the LT.

You have intake and a high flow mid pipe. if you want power50+RWHP for cheap.Nitrous is your answer. Otherwise delete plates with UDP and gears will give you a nice gain too.

Driveshaft doesnt give you HP.

i thought it does give you horse power by freeing up some weight? just like the udp's. udp's don't give you hp but it free's up hp because it reduces rotational weight.

i do realize nitrous makes more hp but some people just don't like it. i used to have nitrous but i hated filling up, and even though i believe in "run what you brung", you still get the stigma of cheating by having fake power. also a complete nitrous kit will be over 1 grand. i'm talking nitrous kit, purge, pressure guage, bottle heater, remote bottle opener, and colder plugs. this would cost about 12-1500 and if you have someone install all these parts it might be up to $2000

thanks for all the inputs though.

No, a driveshaft doesn't "give" you horsepower. It frees up horsepower by decreasing rotating mass and in turn, driveline losses.

I have LTs with and o/r Prochamber and there was a definate increase in performance. Buy the LTs and install them yourself ($0.00) if you are able to.

edit: Just saw your post about the cheap LT price and military discount install....definately do it.
