l99 dyno with tsp headers - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

bcamaro1 · 01-23-2013, 10:30 PM

Hey I was wondering if anyone has done a dyno and tune with the tsp 1 7/8 headers or 2" ones. if so how do you all like the sound and is it worth the $769 or sould I go with a american made header that is $400 more?

I also have a Vararam intake, ported throttle body, and outlaw axleback exhaust.

I have heard great things about TSP but I went with the JBA 1 7/8 headers and it sounds amazing and I got more horsepower than I was expecting (from feel, haven't dyno'd it yet) especially since it was only $550! For me I couldn't justify paying $1000+ on Kooks and those other "high end" headers especially since all that extra money is only for the name and American Made label. Granted there is sometimes a power difference but it's usually minimal: a couple horsepower... definitely not worth the extra money to me.

Also I'm not sure of the price difference between the 1 7/8" and 2" headers but from what I've read the power difference is minimal especially when compared to the difference between 1 3/4" and 1 7/8" headers so keep that in mind when making your purchase!

I think you can get the 1 7/8 or the 2" for the same price. Minimal difference in power until you get into FI or a major engine build. They say the 1 7/8 is the best size for a NA motor with basic bolt ons.

I have the TSP 2" and will be getting a tune the weekend after next. will let you know the differences but even as she sits the car is running so much better with the new headers

bcamaro1 · 01-24-2013, 02:43 PM

Well camaro actual said that he has 2" tsp headers, and loves them, if they are the same price why go for 1 7/8th?
P.s. I probably wont get anymore mods after this except maybe gears.

I Might have gotten 1 7/8 if they were cheaper but since TSP charges the same for both, there is no down side to getting 2", that is unless you dont want as much power

brettsimons · 01-24-2013, 03:37 PM

Well if there is no difference in price there really is no reason to go with 1 7/8! Go big or go home!

I guess you have a point, Ill just go with the 2" ones. anyone have rwhp numbers after install?

Fast6.3 · 01-24-2013, 09:16 PM

You will lose some bottom end with the 2" versus thee 1 7/8.the 2" will only beat the 1 7/8 at or above 5500 rpm 2" arefor fi or racing. In fact on a thread here the doug thorleys 1 3/4 made more power than the dt 1 7/8
