The title pretty much says it all. What would the best LTs for my 96 auto be? My mods are in my signature, nothing major, and I know i will need a matching mid pipe

I have ordered the Mac Ceramac LT and Dr. Gas X pipe, but I also ordered PI Cams and PI Intake kit from Livernois and Accufab Plenum and TB combo... I think this will really benifit getting long tubes. Without the better breathing on the intake side you wont have that great of gain on the exhaust side. I opted out of getting PI heads because I have a blower going on in the future. right now I'm running a 100 shot of N2O...the bump in compression would be good with N20 but not the Blower. If I were you I would wait to see how my mods do when I get them on. The parts will be in next week and I will have them on the following week. but if your hell bent on LT's Hookers fit, Macs fit, and Flowtech fit... Hookers being the most $ around $750 for the ceramic versions Mac are mid priced $450 for Ceramic and the flow tech are around $300 but I have heard they suck... I have searched all over for a good mid pipe and the Dr. Gas seems to have all that I am looking for.

Sure I will keep everyone informed, I'm hoping to pick up at least 40 rwhp 20rwhp for the intake 10-15 for cams and maybe 20-25 for the LT and Xpipe maybe 5 or 8 for the plenum TB combo??? I hope to have at least 240 to the rear wheels all said and done...but I would be to depressed if it was more
I havent had my car to the track 1/8 in over 2 years so that is when my last 1/8 mile was recorded. That was on a very low tank of N20 at the end of the night once I found out I didn't have to try to manually shift it. The computer was so sluggish to shift that was...I now know to leave it up to the computer. since then I have added:
Nitto DR's 275/40's
March UD pullies
100 shot of N20
NGK plugs
Diablo delta flip chip programed for the
N20
BBK CAI
Taylor 10mm wires
screamin demon coil packs
and now PI intake
PI cams
LT
and O/R X
so anyone want to guess at what I might run in the 1/4 or the 1/8???

Im going with Jet-Hot longtube headers. Theyre similar to the Hooker design so you can remove the transmission without having to remove the passenger side header. Im hoping theyll really wake up the car, that with the headswap.

With the Hookers you have to use their matching x-pipe. You wont be able to run just any old mid-pipe. This is why you can remove the trans with the headers on the car.
