I like the "bare bones" exhaust.
My car has the Flowmaster American Thunder kit at 2.5" w/ the Delta 40's. I ran the car with the full exhaust, just the H-pipe w/ no muffs or tails, and open headers...
The car picked up only around .8 w/o muffs/tails, and around .15 on open headers.(guessing mostly due to weight)

Looked at 3" kits, but could buy a Pypes X-pipe and sortta "copy" this design pretty easy

I have not heard any chambered flowmasters I likes on a LS. Something about the tingy sound or something.

i bought the pypes 3.5" exhaust system and 12" bullets for mine. the pypes system is awesome for the price.

New breather system. No more oil soaked sweat bands on valve cover breathers.

Hey Steve, what brand coils are you running?

Those are Daytona Sensors' new high output coils.

TTur1996

Very good looking set up. What kind of coin are you talking, for the coils, if you don't mind me asking?

Hard to tell on the video.

But did you get the car fixed yet?

parts are at the machine shop. expensive parts dont fit like they should, so i have to spend more money modifying ARH headers to fit. angle milling a header flange is apparently harder than i expected.

sometimes i wonder if i like tearing them apart and putting them back together more than i enjoy driving them. i have good stainless 1 7/8 headers that i can throw back on the car and drive...but instead i'm spending too much trying to make a 2" primary 3.5 exhaust work.

Well, better figure it out with all this boost weather. Lol

The 26x10x15s fit with a lot of room on this 94 GT. Got the nitrous plate on, so we will see if the stock suspension holds and the trans without a shift kit.

This is too funny.....http://www.streetmusclemag.com/featu...h-cpr-engines/

I do not see it being cost effective, any better in design, or producing more HP/TQ than a same built LS1.
I think the LS is better in design and will support the power better/longer than the mutt build.

Thoughts ?

The LSNext looks like a much better format to me.

almost 700hp but I look at something like your 403" and I would think your would be cheaper and more reliable to build.
I also don't understand him saying "fits where a LS won't" unless he means due to class rules.

So far, 1.8 60, 7.9 at 89 MPH. The second pass it was popping in 2nd gear a bit. Need to wide band the car. Need to rebuild the carb. Video coming soon.

Sssoooo.... when pulling my trans today, I had to remove a header.
Now in doing so I had to pull my plug wires....WTF ??? #6 wire was on the plug, but not clipped on ....I know I checked some plugs a while back....but don't remember how long ago Could this be why last time out my ET was off (.2 60'.....2-.3 660'.... .1-.4 1320') Who knows.

Anywho, pulled trans and eeeewwwww , more metal than my paint....yes, it was time.
Goes into the shop next week.

Good day to pull it too....was 77*, so it was done in the driveway....small mess.
