well most dynos i've seen with a header (not race header) is only 1-2whp. the head ports and header ports are already matched stock. putting a header with larger holes won't really do anything since the head ports can only flow the same exhaust. and then once the exhaust reaches the downpipe, it goes back to stock again.

so instead of getting that hyper ground kit just replace the factory wires with 4 guage? if so, that would save me an extra 100 bucks to spend on something else...
