it says stock. with a nice exhaust and the mufflers removed from the intake system and a K&N you should probably be able to about 170-180 i would think. Nice numbers man

shawn church showed me a dyno graph of 403s on a ls the power top out at 7500, mine stop making power at 6200 so he believes they are simmilar to 402s.

untuned the car idle fine, had 403s before build and car idle bad

had problems with engine builder so i never got the specs for the cams
so i truly dont know how big the cams are

Its a Knock off header.. So how does the US economy get back to normal when everyone is buying knock offs??? Oh but wait.. Your car runs better ... That makes it better..... NOT!

acutally .. its a knock off header made in the USA so it directly betters US economy


we dont get our headers made in asia

from the employees paid- USA profit
from the taxes paid- USA profit
from the tubing purchased- USA STEEL- USA profit

money made in the USA, stays in the usa

and i've had some international customers for this product. so international $$ profited in the USA and paid to the USA


shall I call our header ... " SPFAB headers for a better USA economy?" sounds like a good thing right about this time of our economy crisis

this whole knock off header thing is getting out of hand. for some reason everyone thinks there the end of the world. everyone knows that the original will perform slightly better and there is always gonna be people with the money to spend on them.
everything gets copied in todays market,thats how the consumer can save money. when you buy flatscreen tv's,digicamera's,dvdburners,or whatever do you wanna pay the price of the original company that developed it years ago,or the one where its on sale at wal-mart for half price?

when i made the T*DA header

it was a very hard header to get a hold of . no one ever had it in stock, everyone had to order it and wait 10+ weeks. In addition, its a 9XX$ header which makes it un affordable and out of the price range of most consumers.

Lets see $1200 for a header or i can buy this at 550 and have it in a week and make 1 hp or more the orig. Comon. Im not going to take 2-4 months play money just to pay for a header if i can get it for one months play money. Think about it. Everything is costing more and people are getting paid less and less and bills rack up. So for some friend i know with families that for there one mod of the year is a header or a cam why not. I can get a header and intake and cam for the price of the balling header??

no go add an exhaust and intake and let us know what she does!

for now im good with the power
just took off the cat so it probably has 1 or 2 more hp

if i had the money i would finish the exhaust and do the whole intake side
thats a long ways for me

as for knock offs its cheaper and it works cant really argue with that
