hey guys...im running the STS kit on my 98 Z and when i dyno'd it it was dropping boost at 6200 rpm..we found the problem to be stock vavle springs and a new 6.0L is planned for the next project with a bigger turbo under the *** end...but how good would LT's work? i know for havin a stock engine manifolds are the way to go but i was going to wrap each header pipe and the exhaust all the way back when the new engine goes in...how well do u think that would work?...thanx for any input.

I am not an expert when it comes to the sts kits, but I do know the answer and that is stick with your manifolds! I don't think anyone recommends swapping the manifolds for lt headers until your CI get above 408. You could run a set of short tube headers and I do have a set I could sell you. Some JBA stainless, but that would only be for looks.

thats what ive been hearing from alot of ppl but it seemed like it could work...thanx for the input man.

no problem bro good luck with the build! Oh btw my brother and dad work out in your neck of the woods at AV hospital so I am out there every now and then. There is a lot of nice open road out there to open her up huh?

oh no ****! thats tight...yeah we have our fair share of open stretch of roads but then again those roads have a high population of CHP roaming around too...you can get away with it most of the time but u have to be careful as the were u chose to run

Oh forgot to mention Rob did my build and had Ken from HP tuners do the 2 bar SD tune. Have you heard about Rob getting his own dyno in the next couple months?
