Congrats. I imagine it must feel pretty good. How’s the throttle response with the DBW and the Holley setup? What pedal didchya use?

Chris70Chevelle

Jimbo I went with DBC since I was using the Holley setup and kept the factory pedal in the car.

Jimbo1367

Oh. Mybad. I thought I seen otherwise (DBW) That is badass fore sure. I really dig the Holley Mid-mount FEAD, How loud are the exhaust? Any chance of idled clips and some short revs?

thanks,
Jim

Yea I'll get some to post, its currently an X-pipe with Flowmaster 40 series mufflers with turns downs. I'm waiting on my exhaust guy to get to me to put tail pipes on it. Its not overly loud but I'm hoping inside the car gets a lot quieter once the tail pipes are on it.

Almost 1k miles already? Good to see you using the car!

Chris70Chevelle

Just thought I would post an update and some pictures...Since last spring I've put 2800 miles on the car with 2 trips to the Rod Run in Pigeon Forge, TN from Gainesville, GA. The car averages around 18-20mpg on a normal basis. During the summer last year I had a stainless exhaust system built under the car by Alex @ McCarty Speed and Fab. The swap is a blast to driver and my only thing I would change is I wish the cam had a little more hit to it as on paper it looks like it would but it sounds very mild.

Here is a link to video of the exhaust job with a couple idle clips.
