    They say that to sell them. Proven not to make really any power...I bought them with my MSD Wires to complete the package...make a fenderwell intake/get rid of the u-bend...might even have money to get new plugs/wires/t-stat for the same money.

    Meh...wait until you just buy the F-Body brake upgrade or 12" rotors...

    If your brakes are bad and you get some DRT Sport (never heard of them) or any cross drilled or slotted rotors, keep in mind they do stop better, but you go through brake pads a lot faster.

    I'd make a intake, get a 3" catted downpipe, front powerlog manifold from ZZP, a 180* T-Stat, and a custom tune.
