You've got to be joking. Headers, exhaust, and intake on a L36 will probably net maybe 20HP.

What are you? A noob?

My SLP header gave me 25 hp, SLP exhuast = 15 hp, and K&N intake = 17 hp. A total of 57 hp added on.

For the 99 looking at the mods I see that the K&N intake gives him 13hp, SLP headers =25hp, and SLP exhaust = 15hp. A total of 53hp.

The headers gives him the 20 hp you said and 5 hp more. Just go on 3800performance and look up the parts and hp.

Please tell me you are kidding.

Have you dynoed your car to prove this? If you also read 3800 performance, the number boosts given always say "on a stock." You can't just start adding them all together, as once you put that first mod on, it's going to decrease the gain from another. With all my Impalamods, maybe I'm at 300 at the flywheel, but that would be ideal temps and with a custom tune, not from just slapping the mods on and buying a ZZP PCM. That's not to say I'm not happy with them, but I knew going in I wouldn't hit those magic numbers and would ALWAYS hit the max for all the components every time.

On each of those product's page, it says "up to XX amount of HP". That assuming the absolute best conditions for that one mod alone. They will give you less than that, and as they add together their cumulative effect becomes less.

But, make way for you, the more experienced one... Apparently I'm just a noob...

Then why didn't just say that in the first place? Any idea how much one mod affects another's effectiveness?

I haven't dyno-ed my car, but I have gone to a 1/8 track.

This is with MSD coils and wires, headers, exhaust, and the intake.
Reaction time=0.624
60 foot=2.401
mph=68.04
et=10.287

Probably because of how you acted and called him a noob.

Remove the seats, spare tire, and engine lifts. That 30-40 lbs = 5 extra HP minimum!

Honestly Malefic_GP you have to take what aftermarket performance shops say about their products with a grain of salt. They will sugar coat everything and say how good it is because they want you to buy their product.

Why thank you , but I believe he was calling Sabrewings a noob.

BTW on your inj duty cycle you could probably squeeze some more out of the stock injectors buy doing a fuel pump rewire and the "Big Three" rewire. Also I believe the condition of your stock pump makes a big difference. Do you know what your fuel pressure is? I am not saying I would try to squeeze every little bit out of the stock inj though. Unless you don't plan on modding any further, but I have a feeling you will
