Sounds good!!

Only question for you: your sig says 306rwhp before the LTs...and you have cams?? Did you dyno at a high elevation or something? That sounds like what you should be making with just intake/exhaust/tuner. I just made 336rwhp with almost the same mods and my AFR is a little jacked up. Jasper made 351 with almost the same mods.

Doesn't sound quite right...

To be honest im not sure. I know its a tad low but I have seen many others with the same mods putting down almost the same numbers. Every dyno is gonna be different considering the weather conditions calibration and all. I dont have a baseline on that dyno or any for that matter so that would really be the only way to tell.

I just noticed that you dynoed with long tubes which makes a huge difference when combined with cams. Im sure once I dyno I will be right up there maybe a little less.

I don't see any carbon trails but I can hear it under load. I suspect it's by the bolts that are under the engine mounts where you can't see them. I may still take care of it myself and try OEM gaskets with copper RTV on them this time.

I meant to put RTV on the Percy gaskets that came with the Kooks but I got so caught up in the install that I forgot.

Yeah I pulled the brackets for the motor mounts so i could get to the bolts better. It was only 4 bolts and came out easily.

Ya, but intake/tune is supposed to be good for around 18-28rwhp on a stock motor and the Hot Rods are good for 30whp on a stock motor. thats almost 50whp right there, which should put you around 320whp WITHOUT the the headers....headers may throw in 15-25whp, which makes my dyno decent and jaspers awesome.

Go get it dyno'd so we can figure this thing out :-D
