I don't understand why your Dad has control over your money.

If it is about not having a car, take the weekend off from work and have them installed. You won't need your car.

If that car can get 42 hp off a single cam and 16 valves why cant I get 25!!! He wants me to buy just a midpipe and cat back and call it good. He says I will get the same thing for $1500 less... When you had your ARH headers installed could you feel a difference? You do have at least 100 more hp than I do but you could feel it im sure. How much more hp did you make after the install? BTW he just bought a jeep on 37's with dana 60 axles a full roll cage and a 304 sb AMC... Thats why I can spend some money now lol.

To be honest, I wouldn't make a big deal out of the headers. They are not worth it IMO. Not that big of a gain. $1500 is a good amount of parts.

Ask your dad to show you an article about YOUR CAR stating that headers hardly make any horsepower. The Camaro engines are, as you know, only 16V pushrods and probably don't respond the same to exhaust mods as 32V DOHC's.

If he says that you will not feel a difference at all, ask him to prove it. That "my friends said.." crap doesn't count. Unless they've owned Mach 1's and have done full exhaust mods, their opinions are worth as much as a used roll of toilet paper.

LMFAO! Yeah he asked a few of his buddies about LT's and they said they would not make a difference in sound or power vs stock manifolds lol.

I felt a big difference after I put he longtubes on, especially up top in the rpms. I'm really shooting for 500rwhp with no n20, no port, and no twin screw. Usually in the terminator world the only way to get 500rwhp is from the 3 things I mentioned but I am going to try and change that lol. They headers have helped out alot.

And it got louder right, a lot louder? Im trying to prove to my Dad that headers with a catted x pipe and a catback WILL be louder than a catted x pipe with a catback, he doesnt believe me. Im about 90% sure that I am going with the LT's. Im ordering something or a lot of stuff on friday no matter what lol. You think I could see 2 tenths better in the 1/4 with these?
