The claim with Belanger seems a bit over zealous. But having said that their product is top notch and when used with a S/C it really adds a few xtra HP's!
I agree. The Belangers are top notch and Lou is a great guy who will spend all the time necessary to answer questions. Below is the post I made after dynoing headers alone. I was not expecting 50hp from a Gen 3, based on everyone's experience with headers. If I had it to do over, I would still install the full Belanger exhaust. My only regret is that I did not do it sooner!
Belanger Headers Dyno Results
I had Belanger headers installed a few weeks ago. I drove the car approx. 400 miles since install, per Lou's request, before taking it to the dyno. My best pull was 470.05RWHP/477.09RWTQ. I gained 15.21RWHP/3.53RWTQ. I believe these results are in line with what others have gotten on a stock engine. Only other upgrade I have is the K&N kit. I will be installing a DC tune early next week. Should get a few more horses there, as the car is running rich. Overall, this is about what I expected. Not much results for dollar$ spent, but I love the new sound!!
What was the turn around time on getting your computer back?
I think most people buy a new computer from Dan at the same time. That gives you the ability to keep your stock computer and tune. If ordered in the morning, they may ship the same day or the next at the latest. Very quick turnaround. The computer will spend more time in transit than in Dan's shop.
You should try the X-Metal throttle body. Should get another 10-15 hp on the top plus increased throttle response. Maybe put you over 500!
I have been talking to Gary.
500 would be nice!
