Thanks, seeing the results of your motor makes it that much tougher for me to go with 1 3/4" headers.

Hey SStreet King, can you tell me where you got the twin conical filter setup from? I'd like to use one on my car, instead of what came with the SSRI. Thanks man.

Do you know where they got the adapter for the a/c compressor that converts the lines to AN fittings???? Doing an LS7 swap into an Impala right now and was needing that. Any help would be great.

Thanks

That's what I thought... guys have said that is the case with the BRP stuff. Since you changed the angle of the mounts... did you change how the headers fit? Apparently the company says the whole kit is meant to go together... so changing one piece can cause fitment issues. Do you think the headers were quality? They look nice but huge when compared to other headers.

Also.. I noticed on one of your pictures that the air box opening in the Suncoast hood is bigger then stock.. did you modify the opening to match the RAISS intake?

OK cool.. thanks for getting back to me on those questions. Great ride.. excellent craftsmanship... hoping my 93 LTZ will ride out just like your Imp SS one day.

Oh and one more question... what oil pan did you use? I've been looking at the Holley Retro Fit one...

New dyno video! Finally had some free time one night to get the car back on the rollers to really turn up the tune. The last dyno session we only took it up to about 6k rpm and had almost no timing in it. Now we took it up to around 6900 and the hp was still climbing! Unfortunately the numbers were lower then the last time as we barely let it cool down and it was hot as hell. But with the higher shift points and more aggressive tune the car really feels like a whole new animal lol
