Kooks LT headers and dyno tune installed today - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

JWKVORTEC350 · 05-31-2012, 10:40 PM

Hey guys and gals, I don't post a whole lot on here. I mostly just read up and learn. But today I had Kooks LT headers with high flow cats installed today and dyno tuned on my L99. I am LOVING the car. It's like it's a brand new vehicle. It launches like a scalded dog and chirps 2nd gear. It sounds so good too. Very deep and choppy, and it screams at WOT. I'm really happy with how everything turned out.

Big thanks to MarylandSpeed for the great deal on the headers. I am very pleased with their customer service and timely delivery! And thanks to Ryan from Gwatney Chevrolet who installed my headers and did my tune. I believe he is a member on here, I can't recall his username...Rhino something.

I'll see if I can get my dyno charts posted on here if I can figure it out, but for now here are the numbers:

Baseline:Rotofab CAI, x-pipe resonator delete, and flowmaster mufflers only

345.4 hp
360.2 ft-lb

After:Rotofab CAI, x-pipe resonator delete, and flowmaster mufflers, Headers, Dyno tune

371.2 hp
385 ft-lb

So the dynotune is a night and day difference? I have a set of LT headers that need to be installed so I want to do it all at once. Just need to get back to The States so I can get my car to a dyno.

Once installed the performance results are very impressive.....there is a night/day difference!!!!

Isnt amazing what bolt ons and a tune do for these cars when they breath much better.

I just love the smile on the face of the owners after the post tune test drive.

They always have that I hope im going the right thing face when they arrive, and when they leave, its the why did I wait so long this car is a blast now!

Yes he did. Shifts are much more firm.

The CEL just came on Saturday. I thought this was odd since I figured the tuner took care of all the possible codes. I hope it's nothing serious.

Thanks for coming in man, glad you like it! Now you just need a tq converter!! Im loving my 3200 Yank!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing. Are you running cats too?

Rhino79 · 06-19-2012, 12:02 PM

Kooks Hi Flos if i recall correctly.

Pro Stock John · 06-19-2012, 12:51 PM

How are the Kooks for fitment on 5th gens? I had a set on a 4th gen and the plug access was great.

Rhino79 · 06-19-2012, 01:46 PM

Awesome, clearance is great, no dinging, no modifying. Direct un-bolt and bolt up, withour removing plugs too.
