Thinking about longtubes

[Oxtar41]

I have a E-force supercharged 2010 camaro that I'm thinking about putting long tubes on. My questions are:

1) How are the new TSP headers?
2) Ceramic coated or not?
3) My injectors are pretty close to being maxed out will I need to replace them if I get headers?
4) How much boost on average will I lose? Im currently about 8 psi
5) Out of DT's or TSP which would you recommend and why.

I dont think its really needed to spend upwards of 1200-1500 for a set of name brand headers when DT, TSP etc are showing the same gains if not more. Thanks in advance for the info.

I can comment on the new TSP headers. I installed them on a friends car and they fit perfect. They bolted right up to his existing magnaflow cat back. The whole job took 2 1/2 hours to install. They have a polished finish and look very nice uncoated. I haven't seen DT headers so I can't comment. I have seen and installed ARH and Kooks, they also fit perfect but cost quite a bit more than the TSP headers.

3) My injectors are pretty close to being maxed out will I need to replace them if I get headers?

Very interested in the answer as well. Chose the EForce and will already have ARH Coated 1 7/8" LTs and Cats through Flowmaster AT Catback when it's installed Was told from one installer the stock injectors would still be fine with stock pulley and tune will be adjusted for the headers. Anybody?

you will need a new tune the headers will lean out the fuel

1) How are the new TSP headers? I don't have them personally, but I have heard good things from people who have them. Good fit, good power. Definitely one of the better options out there.
2) Ceramic coated or not? I am a big proponent of coating. Reduces engine bay heat a bit, maintains the quality of the headers and reduces their wear. Definitely worth it for the long haul.
3) My injectors are pretty close to being maxed out will I need to replace them if I get headers? Personally, I wouldn't go higher that 85% of duty cycle on injectors. Not sure what you are at now, but it is something to consider.
4) How much boost on average will I lose? Im currently about 8 psi Hard to say for sure. My educated guess would be about 1.5 PSI
5) Out of DT's or TSP which would you recommend and why. I would go with TSP if I had to choose between the two. Seems like they spent a significant amount of time on development to ensure good fit with proven results. Better quality for the money, in my opinion.

See the red.

I have an e-force with kooks longtubes. As long as you are using the stock pulley and the injectors that came with the kit, you should be fine. Just for piece of mind, I got the JRE fuel line upgrade kit. Which if you don't know, feeds both the fuel rails together. The e-force setup only feeds from the passenger side fuel rail. I had a custom tune from Jannetty for the supercharger and headers. My fuel pressure is good. The one thing I'm waiting for to go wrong are the high flow cats. I've heard from a few members that they usually won't survive with a supercharger.
Also from what I understand, with longtubes, you will have less boost in the engine, but will still make the same amount of power. Because the exhaust flows better with the headers, the boost doesn't build up as much in the engine. But thats good, because thats less strain on the motor, and your still making the same amount of power....Thats what I read on here on another post.
