yah thats most likely in the ballpark I would say.

No cats with F/I helped just as much as the long tubes prolly.

when they were done i had to haul ass over to Long Island or else i would have.

and plaf, it was road tuned.

also Tony, the dyno i have been on b4 (ECS’s dynapak) is a fantastic dyno, prob the best and most “accurate”. soo next time i get it dynoed i think i want to go to ICS in CT where my evo was dynoed and compare it on there dynojet. higher reading yes, but i would love to see what it makes on a dynojet.

lol didnt see that, just wondering what made you decide on the ARH headers? Also, people gain on average 20 rwhp going from a 1 3/4 header to a 1 7/8 on highly modified motors such as yourself, you might even be in the upwards of 30+rwhp, good decision on your part to go with the 1 7/8 first, lots of people do it backwards and get the 1 3/4 or 1 5/8 longtubes and end up going bigger.

yah…honestly it wouldnt be worth it to go to 1 7/8’s for all the trouble and shit to go through. Im sure the power gain would be minimal.

i have herd nothing but the utter best when it come to ARH. From the fitment, the sound, the power and the quality, these headers are top of the echelon. they are more $$$ than others but its worth it.

will be in the works winter possibly. But…i certainly do not need a 427. Ill post 5 guys dyno sheets right now that have 347ci with a novi kit hitting over 800whp.

Na, its really not necessary. I dont see why anyone thinks 800whp is necessary around here. Nowhere to use that. This 530whp or so is more than enough. Running C16 all the time is gonna be a major PITA.
