15-20hp is conservative.

I believe they had the long tube and the high flow.cats.installed when they got.those numbers.

I gained 27rwhp with the bbk long tubes and a custom tune

Does the tune get rid of the CEL for good

Your info says it's a v8 but you're talking like you have a v6. Do you have both? This weekend I ran a 13.96 which corrected to a 13.69(1700+ da) with my manual LS at the local track.

I remember him. He tried the non-foulers to get rid of the cel.

And dynos are all different. It's great for a tuning tool, but the variations in outcomes tells me they don't mean much toward official numbers. I don't sweat those numbers as much as what the car's actually doing at the track(my preference). I've seen videos of cars that were dyno'ing 400+rwhp that couldn't get out of their own way on the strip.

I have ARH long tubes with no CEL but I also have the tune form Trifecta.

Warning: if yuo need your state inspection soon don't install the headers until after you pass the inspection. The tune will prevent the CEL but will not turn off the monitors which can be seen by the inspection site (or a handheld scanner). The CAT and EVA monitors are still "Not Ready" on my car but by August (inspection time) they should be in "Ready Mode".
