uh, where are you guys getting that you get 315-325 rwhp to the tires with just bolt-ons for the lt1? i dont think ive read about any higher then right around 300 rwhp without cam/1.6 rockers and the works.

????? man.... where the hell have you been??? LT's, Intake, Good exhaust should put an LT1 in the 300's rockers water pump... should certify you around 320... we aint playin with civics here.

 

Anyone who will install headers for $100 has probably never done them on an LT-1 car.
It took me around 12 hours.

 

If you really want to have fun try a supercharger.

 

i know that you pay at least $300bucks to get headers done,my mechanic its just a good friend of mine,and i actually got some nice LTs at EBAY for $270 brand new,not bad at all!i will post times soon,im sure i'll beat that LS1

 

Why make more power when you can't get the power you have to the groung now? Buy some slicks!

 

let him borrow yours.

 

Yeah, I'm with everyone else here. I want to know where he's getting his parts and what he's using to estimate from. For gears and labor to install you'd be looking at $550 realistically. $100 for a header install is entirely too cheap. Sounds fishy.

Of course he could be a friend that's doing it on the side just to help ya out.

 

maybe thier more than just friends

 

I knew somebody was going to come up with a litereally a gay comment

 

it only cost me $75 to get my headers installed and true duals welded up, given i bought all the parts

 

So does that make it true?

All joking aside he's either one hell of a friend or getting ready to swindle you out of some cash. I could be wrong and it be neither, he just doesn't know what he's getting into. For parts and labor to install both you should be looking at $1200 depending on what headers you get. Plus all the misc dumb **** that goes along with it (plugs, wires, and anything else that's worn or broken)

Just look into it more before you go in thinking it's one bill and get a complete different one.

 

Before I did my cam swap, I ran dead even with my buddy's 01 SS. He was stock and I had a full exhaust, CAI, and un-tuned. Both were 6 speeds, and we're both fatasses..... so it was pretty even.

 

something else worthy of mention here: all LS1's do not dyno >300 stock. 98-99 models routinely put down 270 to 290, and the latter models were usually >300.
