Recieved headers yesterday from ACS. Hedman 68470 w/y-pipe, coated of course. Gonna run this y with my 2.5 inch dynomax super turbo catback until I can save more money for the 3.5 inch Mufflex w/ spintech. Then I will change the cat and modify the Y-pipe. Maybe it will leave me a few more horses to look forward to after I break it in.
only thing i need to get is the water pump, edelbrock 8881, will be in the next few weeks, I am about broke need less to say, but I refuse to put my cast iron flowkooler water pump on it. cant wait to start it. Also I need to buy my plumbing, stainless hose and earls fittings another 150.00, but that should do it. will show more pics as things go along.

 

here is a pic, Ill try to post more.

 

Sounds like that should be a good performer. You will deffinetely make more power with the larger exhaust. So you will have something to look forward to then. That is a nice cam you have selected and she be very tunable. I am not familer with Howell tunes but you may still want to datalog when the car is up and running to make sure you are getting the most out of that thing.

 

Here is one more!

 

Yeah I'm hoping it will be a performer. Howell said they will tweak the chip a few times for free after I collect some data. I will get into chip burning sooner or later. Should have it runnin within the month.

 

what kind of intake is that
