I then looked at what the predator programer was running for timming and it's only 18-21. So you can see how you can pick up 30hp+ with tuning.

95 hp may sound like a lot, but this is at the engine, at the wheels it would only be like a 75 ish hp gain, which is still a pretty big gain.
definately emissions. it wasn't for emissions we would all have more power, more reliability, cheaper cars, better gas milage and lung cancer

Then you need all of the pipes from the manifold back,there is no y pipe in a SS . Its dual to the muffler, then 3 inch out of that.

ehh **** it. I'll just get custom fabbed true duals. Sounds like its going to be expensive. I just wanted a stock-esk setup.

Check the link to look at pics of the pipes on mine which are the same as an SS. Dual in to the exhaust and dual out with a "Y" about 6" beyond the muffler with a 3" over the axle and out....
