So i got my headers installed the other day. Overall im really pleased with the headers and for the price you cant beat. Really simple install on top of that when you have a left to. But my question is what plugs and wires do you guys go with? A few of my spark plug wires are touching my headers any advice on what wire to go with thanks.

NGK TR55 plugs and stock wires. When I got my kooks the place I bought them from through in a set of kevlar sleeves for the plug wires.

I went with NGK's as well but used MSD wires along with some sleeves.

Yeah no doubt a great header for the money. Enjoy the shiny looks of those while you can, cause they will start looking like poo in about 10-15k underneath the ride. Mine sure do)

did you put anything on the extensions to help with sealing to the headers or catback, like copper high temp sealant? i am doing this next week. i got the GM gaskets for the heads.

Those of you that installed them, is it worth the extra for the coated version? I'm looking to buy a set soon and if the coating is ****, I'd rather save the cash and just get the painted version.

The painted header last about 10 min of starting the car and turns to ****.

Having had painted headers before, I understand this. My question is, if the coating is crappy enough to wear off fairly quickly itself, is it really worth the ~$100 extra they charge for it.

OneSlowV

iTrader: (2)

Yeah im might get a cam for it first idk yet though. And to me the armor coat is worth it to me. Plus the painted version is just for shipping them. And ive never seen them wear off or rust were im at. But if you live around alot of salted roads in the winter or by the ocean they could rust

What does a ls2 V put down after headers and a tune?

From what ive seen I think about 370ish hp to the wheels.

odthetruth

iTrader: (4)

370, 380. Depends on the dyno.

OneSlowV

iTrader: (2)

So can your get close or break 400 with maybe a fast 102?

odthetruth

iTrader: (4)

No. You'll need at least a cam to break 400, unless its on some ridiculously happy dyno, in which case those numbers won't be legit anyway.

Reason i ask ive seen ls2 goats get close or break 400 rwhp with bolt ons. Do we have more drive train loss than them?
