Blower= 1 7/8" hands down....not to mention if you get the itch for heads or cam later down the road itll just benefit you even more. you can get kooks 1 7/8 with off road connectors for prolly about 1000 shipped from paschal(dont quote me on that but it wont be much more if any). Thats stainless headers, connector pipes, 02 extensions, gaskets and bolts.

It really depends on what numbers you're looking to get? With a blower the 1 7/8ths would be the best to get the most outta the blower. Or you could use the extra 600 bucks you save to get you half way to a cam.

What else while I'm down there? Motor mounts etc.

not terrible i suppose,
Except the fact that Armor coating is ONLY on the outside, not inside.
Not the good way to go. JET HOT coats inside and out.

Can you please post the CAI and tune gain? Graph... I am curious on the Delta of the stock vs CAI/Tune curve.

with the headers out , it did look like it would be alot easier to change the mounts

the gto's are easier to with the headers/stock manifolds out , and we have twice the room the V's have , lol

definetly do some CS motor mounts while the headers are out, i wish i had done them when i had the chance. youll regret not doing them when you do headers.

with kooks 1 7/8 on your car i bet itd be a 30+rwhp gain of stock manifolds.
