i got a 89 iroc. 305 tpi. i currently have a hedmen headers, accel 8.8mm wires, hypertech chip (stage 2), open box, free mods, accel coils, flowmaster exhaust, tornado, air fowl with stock throttle body, b&m shifter, monster tach, posi, stock gears, modified mass air flow sensor. i was running 15's in hawaii. i was told that with these mods it suppose to be quicker. so what do you guys think with these mods? should i be in the 14's since we adjusted my cars timing. it was on 28 degrease. it was real off. so we adjusted it to 7 degrease. should my time be better now?

Is that 28 degrees base timing? If so that would cause some power loss. Base timing should be about what you set it at, on a stock motor. More modified motors may need more base timing though...

tornado... gone
hypercrap chip... gone
timing... go to 10*.. thats about as far as that hypercrap is taking you... cant go much farther then that with out the ecu correcting you and setting it back. I need to find someone with an advanced timing light so i can start playing around.

Rich and reasonable untill 2000rpm when it gets a lot louder, which can definetly make a reasonable point before burning a mooshtang (Closed cutouts)

Unbelievable and undescibably loud but still low piched and not at all scratchy. MMMMMMM, it gives me the chills even thinking about it. Un fortionately the cops arent happy about it. (open dual cutouts)

Still working on what I want to do for the tip(s).

I used to have the 2.5" pipe w/out the cat and a crossflow
flowmaster, but my motor didn't like the restrictiveness of the
flowmaster. The car run's 100 times better now running just
the cat and no muffler... not to mention it sounds great!

Mike...just to let you know, it wasnt the Flowmaster that was restrictive on your car, it was the kinked up stock 2 1/4" pipe you were running. Of course its gonna run better with 3" all the way out. By the way...you gotta hear your old muffler on my 84. Sounds great. Might have woke it up a little bit too. See ya at the Pavs.

Joe... Just to let you know, I wasn't running 2 1/4" pipe. I had
2 1/2" piping throughout the entire set up. Besides, running
the 3" cat with the new piping sounds a lot better than that
cross flowmaster. *L* Too bad there's no room for a 40 series.
I'm glad you like my old muffler... I might be getting a dynomax
bullet put on...or I'm going to finish off the tip(s).

2 1/4, 2 1/2...who cares. Was still choking it. Hell, the stock exhaust on my 84 is choking it. And my L69 exhaust is a lot better than your old LG4 exhaust. What I wouldnt give to have my old Edelbrock headers and SLP catback back in my possesion. Im glad youre happy with your new exhaust, but if I were you, id be putting a muffler on that thing. BTW, you sure youre gonna use those headers? Ill be more than happy to take them off your hands. Gimme a call. Later man.

thats kinda neat, but why wouldn't you just build a double hump cross member to do that instead of cutting up your frame rails?

There are a couple reasons I could see for him. First he has the spohn crossmember and torque arm. You have it easy because you have the lift bars. Also, he has an auto, and there isnt really much room to run the exhaust beside the auto's or make a double hump crossmember. I just swapped to a t-56 and had a custom crossmember made to clear my duals and it worked out pretty good, but I dont think it would have done any good with the auto.

Lost a tenth compared to what exhaust? What do you run? What engine and tranny combo do you have. If that is compared to stock exhaust I would say you need to tune it if it is carbed. Maybe the exhaust is just to big for your motor. Dual 2.5 is about equal to 3.5" which is what I have. A cross pipe such as an h or x might help out with loss of torque if that is what has caused you to slow down. Also, do you have any pics of the ground clearance. That is basically how mine is run except I have the hooker long tubes and used s pipes to move it into the driveshaft tunnel since the hookers seem to sit a little wider than the hedmads. I used bullets also. My ground clearance is really pretty good and I dont really scrape on anything. I was kind of wondering how yours does since you have the larger pipe and normal sized mufflers.

OK, thats cool. Sounds like it worked out pretty good then. I didnt know what exhaust you were running to start with(open headers). What kind of mufflers are those?

Stock manifolds, stock cat, Edelbrock 3" catback. Pretty quiet - the way I like it. By next spring, I will have hooker lt's and y-pipe without the cat.

Re: Post Your Exhaust Setup...

Have revised exhaust on 1987 Firebird since 9/9/03 post. Still have Headman shorty headers (pn 68470) and Headman Y-pipe (pn 17470),now with 3.5" tail pipe. The rest of the exhaust system is 3.5" Mufflex with Flowmaster muffler. A little louder but not bad. More horsepower, but not quite as good fitment.

Holy old post batman! I did end up going with dual 3 inch though. Probably going to switch that to single 4 inch sometime this year.
