Just ordered the pacesetters! What mods next?

I Just Ordered my pacesetter long tube headers, I was wondering with my SLP lid, 160 Thermo, Longtubes,and a dyno tune what kind of gains I will get. Will it be enough to actually feel it? and what will be the next mod to do after this? A ls7 minifold or cam? THANKS Matt

I got 36hp form my LS1 Edit after my LT install. You'll be running about the same $#'s I am. with all mentioned above, you'll be at about 340RWHP 350RWTQ. My #'s were a bit low to my un-researched choice of headers.

Lid is worth 15hp,
LT's anywhere from 15-30hp.... (Depending on type, supporting mods, and tune)

I don't think you mean LS7 manifold... I'd do an LS6 manifold and Suspension upgrades.. LCA's, STB, SFC's, etc. The power will be better feeling if you set the suspension up. Do some weight reduction too.... It's FREE! 100lbs=10hp (feeling)

yeah...the lid is more like 1/2 that on a stock/bolt on engine.

but anyway...good choice on starter mods. should wake the car up nicely. and yes you should feel it.

depending on what yuo plan in the future, you may want to hold off on the tune and wait for more mods. your call.
