Or you just get a scanner from me tomorrow and we find somewhere for fly-bys. There are lots of our friends with pretty lights out this weekend.

And Yes, you have the stepped version.

Do the long tube headers produce more power than the shorty headers? Looking at buying one or the other.

Didn't know which one of you had the stepped. I see the DE still has that dip, but the stepped is awesome on the HR.

I think with your new midrange and cooler weather you might take andre's #1 HR spot this yr. Hopefully he won't get a set.

highly recommend them to any NA Z owner.

Definitely not a day for record breaking numbers due to this FL heat but even today the gains from the PPE headers are very noticeable esp in mid range to peak, my last dyno session was on the same dyno a few months ago with stock headers and AAM test pipes in about 40F-50F weather and put down 290whp.
My tuner is very confident it will gain at least another 10whp in better weather, Ian's Z too.

We will hopefully be going to the 1/4 mile track this upcoming thursday to see what numbers we can get there

Heres a few vids and pics so you guys can see for yourselves

Dyno vid of my Z 297whp 253wtq in 95F weather





You saw these gains untuned? If so I know what I'm getting next.

he wont get a set without Congress signing the approval on their proof of gains.

He will if redline runs 12.4-12.6 in the hot FL weather. The guys in FL will never run -1k+ below sea level air like we do in the northeast.

Andre's time was done in very good racing air -1200+DA air density 105%+. Car gets a extra maybe 10-15hp added from the air alone.

Redline what was the weather like when you ran 12.8?

Temps were in the 50s which was awesome, trapped 109MPH but I had other problems at the time
Gear lock out which made me have to shift like a grandma into 2nd and 3rd. Issue has been fixed for the most part but the damage has already been done so ill need a new transmission for sure if I wanna shift faster.
I also didnt really have the launching down at the time, no burnout. Ive practiced a bit lol so next time ill hopefully do better.

Nice numbers! The curves are very similar to mine, though my dyno reads lower.
