Bigfoot Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 According to some the collectors are better in the Pros, but the main advantage is the Pros are the 1 7/8" allowing for much higher HP possibilities. But if you don't plan to go really big, you'd be fine with and 1 3/8" set-up. You can push well over 400 rwhp through 1 3/8" pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree with Sean on everything else.As to HP levels, I would say you'll probably end up very close to the 323rwhp/337rwtq that Sean put down as you'll have vitually the same setup. Just remember that's a rear wheel number, and the 350hp that Chevy claims is at the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Oops, yes, the streets are 1 3/4", I think I got stuck with the 8 after typing the 7/8. The 350 is base horse power (BHP) at the fly wheel, not rear wheel horse power (RWHP).You must figure about 20% loss through the drive line (for an auto), so my 323rwhp translates to about 404 BHP.When I mention using the pros for big horse power applications, it's not the size of the tubes that gives you that much extra, it allows you to build more through other applications and let the engine exhale all that extra.As for numbers between the 2 different sets, I think the pros are good for about 5rwhp over the streets (don't quote me on that one though).

Bigfoot Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 It's one of those roller thing-a-ma-bobs you put your car on and measures power. Your rear wheels go up on these spinning drums and as you "accelerate" the wheels spin the drums and based on the computer readings, it calculates how much power you have.
