I bought my wife a digital cam for Valentines day. I'll get some pics as soon as I can. I am getting the car back today. I also need to get it cleaned up a bit. Thanks Mike Fesi

Default Nice!!!

I took the car out yesterday for an oil change, and to see how well it ran. The headers sound awesome at full throttle, but very nice and quiet cruising. The power difference is amazing. I really couldn't run too fast because of road conditions, but it was markedly better. I also looked underneath the car when the oil was being changed, and the work that was done by Straightline was amazing. Thanks guys, it runs and sounds like a Corvette should. For anyone reading this in the Chicagoland area, I would definately recommend Straightline if you want a high level of workmanship. What a ride!!! Mike Fesi

Glad to hear everything worked out for you I am having trouble sleeping at night just dreaming about having the extra power at hand and that oh so beautiful sound. Did you get some pics of the headers underneath and from the top?

Just a thought, you may want to reconsider the underdrive pully, especially if your getting the turbo. I am thinking it could throw off your boost numbers. It was just a thought, maybe the engineers have that one figured out. Also, despite advertising claims, you may lose voltage at idle which will reak havoc on the injection system. I saw an ad for an alternator that was specifically designed for an underdrive pully, but I'm old and can't remember where I saw it. If I find it I will pass it along to you. Mike F.

Ya do that I am probably not going to go the FI route though cause I want to keep the stock illusion on mine and sneak up on people. But any info would be helpful especially in building for future add ons. Thanks
