yea first post of this thread:

https://my350z.com/forum/na-builds/3...-roadster.html

Stock 2006 Rev-Up Roadster, 220whp

Then:

SGM Intake
SGM Cat-back exhaust

240whp

And Then:

SGM Intake
SGM Cat-back exhaust
Pulstar spark plugs (essentially just adding 3 degrees of timing)
Aftermarket y-pipe (don't even know what kind it is to be honest, it was given to us. I cut it apart and grinded the collector smooth and welded it back together, if that matters).

250.6whp

Finally:

Addition of these prototype long tube headers that are based off of our Koni race car headers.

279.0whp, 20ft lb gain across the board!!
279-250.6whp = 28.4hp

If a bolt on was proven to give good whp and it was $200h0 like these long tubes I'd do it. I haven't even bothered with any boltons on this car because I've seen so many mixed reviews I'm just torn. FI does give good gains but I drive 20k a year and can't afford to have any down time of worry about my motor blowing when I step on the gas. I feel that if its not FI from the factory its not meant to have FI on it. If a revup could get near 300whp on a legit dyno with these headers and a good set of cams I'd spend the money.

Yeah, the dyno you see above is a comparison of the LTH against the Tomei V2 with test pipes. So taking that in consideration the gains from the LTH are very good.

agreed with previous post on price. However i was speaking of their website that everything is overpriced. If i wanted to keep my car full bolt on then yes i would def buy these headers. With just these headers would put my car over 300whp. But then i think of adding proper aggressive cams for the headers and a tune plus install and WOW at all that $. However now while typing this and just spoke with Bobby @ CIN and what he would charge me to install and tune everything i want for NA and umm it seems doable. Great info. And Z1 i will call them tomorrow to see. Thx for insight

I'm guessing these don't fit RHD
