Mid-length headers and an electric cut-out took my friend's 95 T/A M6 from 14.1 in the quarter mile to 13.4. Quite honestly one of the best mods you can do to an LT1.

You sure you cannot fell no gains in power cause I know for a fact you can feel a difference on an LT1 car when you install a CAI. I highly doubt a CAI helps an LT1 breathe better then a set of mid length headers. I have heard of Macs being difficult to install but the problems cannot be that bad since the headers get an overall good review from most people who use them.
well my car came with these so i didnt know what it was before

Header's are a nice mod that helps your car breathe..but droppin that much just from headers sounds a little far fetched..but I'm not goin to call you a liar either.

Everyone has their favorite brands and every brand has their benefits..I guess your best bet is what fits your budget and what you like.

i think you guys see me as agreeing with the manufacturer...i said i think its bull. 30 rwhp from headers is insane. but this is where i read it:
