results of headers on a z06

With all the talk about headers and whether they are worth the money or not I thought that this might be some good data for us.

I found this over on corvette forums, I'm a member over there, not for me but to collect information for my wife.

Anyway they got about 30hp from bolting on some headers. Is it releveant to our application, I dont know but I thought it was worth mentioning as a possibillity.

Car dynoed at 489HP after (vs. 454 before) so the gain is 35. Sounds impressive but on that much power that's a 7.7% gain.

So on a stock GS400 of around 240WHP that would equate to a gain of 18WHP.

Still impressive, but not like 35!

Also in that Corvette thread they have another header project that LOST POWER.

Holy crap. A stock GS400 makes 240RWHP?
