I have been trying to update that kyle gilmour's 427 thread....but no one has answered.

Id be all shades of pissed if my procharged lsx 427 only did 655 rwhp
I don't see why they would be if they're both running the same psi. If anything, I'd imagine a Centri would be easier on the drivetrain, since it's power shows up later.

I just cringe at the 2gs they get for a set though. The super comps i had on my GTO were like $600 i think.
I see prices ranging from $1,350 to $2,200 for a set of 1 7/8" depending on what you want in the set up.

$1,350 doesn't seem terrible, but $2,200.....


But i guess my catback was $775, and you can spend 1,500ish on that


Got to pay to play

no kidding. My senior year in high school our band went to Chicago and won a couple trophies. We had to take them apart to bring them on the plane home. the first day back in school I was putting them back together and asked a kid next to me to help a little since we were short on time. Now this kid was the #3 in a class of over 800 people, so pretty smart. I handed him a ratchet to tighten up the nuts and he had absolutely no clue how to use it. I guess all those advanced college classes he took in high school really paid off.

My cat-back was between $1,300 - $1,400 if I remember right.

Here is a link of the different prices for headers I mentioned.

Some people excel when it comes to book smarts but have little to no common sense.
