42hp & 26 ft/lbs tq gain
The blue run is from a few months ago, with an air lid/catback.
The green run is last night, I added pacesetter LT's, ORY, and an LS6 manifold. I started the night with 335 hp & 342 ft/lbs tq and was able to squeeze out a few more hp for a final run of 351 hp & 355 tq (STD). Not too shabby...can't wait to get back to the track now that I have retuned it (was going 8.4 two weeks ago).
It also picked up 5hp with the MAF screen removed. And no the car was not allowed to cool between runs...no tricks, just straight up gain 5hp w/o the screen.

Damn....without tune when I installed the LS6 intake and SLP headers, I gained 13 RWHP and 15 ft/pounds. I was quite disappointed.
Once I added the cam though, it jump 41 RWHP. Just needed to utilize the airflow better.2008 Trailblazer SS

You can't run headers without a tune well...the car was probably running rich and you won't get all the power out of it.

WTF your car is pumping out the same horsepower, and more torque, then my Z06 cammed WS6... LOL .... That's an extremely healthy car, cause most cars w/ mild bolt ons and headers only see 340 whp.

I am. I use tunercats software. The reason I feel my car makes more power with headers than other peoples cars is because I took the time to tune it....I started out with 335hp & 342 tq, so the tune alone gave me 15hp & 13 ft/lbs tq....I think if more people would spend a little time on the dyno tweaking things here and there they'd see they could get better numbers too
