Used headers...
just curious...(brain storming)
If I do...i'll let you know bro. Never wanted to sell these headers...think they are the ****.
But,..I may need the cash for another setup...one which I wouldn't need the headers anymore...obviously. So,..i'd have to recoupe,....asap.
keep you posted.
Has anyone seen typicaly prices for these? Used ofcourse? Spent well over a grand on them new,...(thinking1300-1400 or something new)
Check the other vette forum you can get a great idea
IMO If there in good shape just knock a couple hundred off what Lg sells them for.

typically go between 1000 - 1200 depending on shipping and condition.
go to CorvetteForum there's always a set floating around from time to time.

I'm gonna sell my blower kit as well,...as we're going to a turbocharged setup.
Soo,...A&A bracket, P1sc-twin intercooled, vortech race bypass valve....the stock procharger setup(which if you were to use, you would remove your cooling fan, and replace with procharger cooling fan setup, which is where your procharger would feed from if you were to use that style, which is the original procharger setup).
I, did not use there setup. I took my radiator brackets, and cut them off the cradle, as well as the bar that goes across. I then, re applied the bracket and bar 6 inches forward. What this does, is give the RADIATOR, a natural rake,...or, in other words, it lowers the height of the radiator, since it is moving the bottom forward.
With me?
Reason why you would do this, is because you would no longer have to used the squashed pipes to sandwhich between the radiator and the hood. It would allow you to run much larger pipes, un restricted. This, allows for more boost, and better horsepower. It did, however, require that some hoses had to be altered, to use with the now lower radiator. For example, I had to make a cooling hose, as well as a new powersteering hose(for my setup). AC lines. bend nice and easy, as long as your bending them, nice and easy.
Anyways,..great kit,...sorry to let it go. Made the car run like a champ..7.5psi and 615 rwhp and 565 ft-lbs with AFR heads,...NON BLOWER FRIENDLY CAMSHAFT 233 237 .649 .598 on a 112(so, in other words, this camshaft is bleeding boost, therefore, if I was to change the camshaft, or if this kit was going on a stock car,...more then likley the PSI would be well above 7.5psi). I have two pulleys. Both small. I also have the stock procharger bracket.
Soo,..I'm going to be removing the blower KIT, and LG pro's with X pipe, in attempt to sell as a kit.
Making up pictures and stuff tomorrow,...as well as discriptions. Soo...i'll post up when everything is ready to rock and roll. I've got soo many parts to get rid of(cts-v wheels,L92 complete manifolds,...stock C5 Z06 clutch.... h pipes...fenders for C6's....heads.... friggin A,..getting a headache thinking of all the stuff I need to list.
Anyways..thanks..sorry for the rant.
Plaining at the moment. talked to a company,..very cool as people.Gonna try and work something out but,..ofcourse,...all other parts gotta go first. Finally got a daily driver(1994 sts)..soo,..I can take the vette off DAILY driving. Which, gives me some more time to work on the bEEEotch.
Debating about everything...cost,..setup,..sizing....A/R ratio's..... nothing concrete yet bro. Very stressful and tiring actually. I know turbo's but, I don't know turbo's like some of these guys on the boards. Soo, i've been doing research since last week.
If I can sell the kit,...i'll order the parts the same day. Very ready to do this.
Lol...people ate work,...guys in the shop,...saw me taking the car apart,..again. Lol...I got a few "dude,...your ******* nuts..." ....or the common one..."dude, your crazy". In other words, why the hell would I take it back apart when it was running soo good?
I dunno. I hope i'm right in the path i'm taking. Otherwise,...it was a long day making love to my car.....for nothing.
We'll see.

I honestly think it's pretty cool that you can do all of this. First you had a nasty H/C NOS setup, then you went with a SC setup, and now with a turbo kit...You are the man! Keep me informed of the progress ma-man!
BTW, spring is approaching FAST! what's the target time to have her back on the streets, and stretching her legs?

Good luck, welcome to the wild, crazy, EXPENSIVE world of forced induction. It becomes addicting, never enough power, and in the end you have.... never enough traction...

Yeah man, it's been pretty wild,...going from this, to that. I Started off cam only, with long tubes, some spray,...then, all top end, heads cam 90/90 and MORE spray,...then h/c blower....now,..hopefully, hc turbo,...and, some spray for the intercooler.
It's been chaotic, no doubt. Easy ride?.....not really. I'm very greatful for the things i've learned, through work. If it wasn;t for that,...this would be all impossible....and would have never of happened. I'd probably be driving a bone stock car right now,...if it wasn't for that. Lol,..couldn't afford to pay a company to install everything. ha. Good thing is, i've also been able to work on the LSx platform engines, for some time now(did a motor swap in an F-body when I was in GM school..on my buddy "sprayjunkie's" car). Been ***** deep since. Still,...soo much to learn. We have a guy at the shop...I call him "The nuge"..... he's a cool,....super smart ******. Always helps me out with major issues....idea's...etc. Couple of other dudes as well, Chris T,...has helped me alot, and pastvertical,...whom I also work with,....has helped me as well. Good people, my friends. Not to mention, my tuner, Johan@Diablosport, with MikeL assisting. Can't tell you how awesome it is to have these guys backing me up,...it's like it's there car. Soo,..if it wasn't for all of these people helping me along the way,...i'd be at a loss.
That said,...lol,..I can probably take my car apart in my sleep. I know every nut and bolt,...every size of this, and that. Guess I work on it too much. Hopefully though, it'll all work out in the end. I think it will. I loved the blower kit,..it's just at the level I am at, I need to go with a MORE RIBS(all new pulley's)...which could cost about a grand. Me, myself, we do see the point of spending all this extra money right now, for pulleys. I'd rather sell it to someone that can use it with their setup,..and I can maybe start over, a clean slate.
As far as twin or single my friend....i'll be going BIG single. My design will be a little unique,..due to my lower sitting radiator. Soo, i'm currently working on clearence issue with the hood, and proper cooling of the charged air. I was at one point goining to keep the twin intercoolers but,..after further thought, IAT's me be too warm for turbocharged air. They worked great with the blower setup, I gotta tell you though. I monitored IAT's and they were awesome.
Soo,...to give you an idea, right now, I CAN fit a 76mm turbo in the car,....i'm trying to go slightly bigger. I am on a major budget(ya ya, I know, it's a turbo project it can;t be cheap but, IT HAS TO BE)...so, we'll see what I can get together.
I do, need to upload these pictures,...and sell my ****. Hopefully, in one quick shot.
As far as turn around time,...it's not super important to have done, lets say tomorrow but,...I want this done right away. As soon as humanly possible. In other words,..i sell the parts, I make a phone call and order the parts,...I get the parts,....ethy go in the car...I get the car running...off to the tuner here I come.
Problem is, i'm limited to ONLY working on my staurdays off soo,..that may suck as far as time constraints. No more late night work at work....so, i'll make the best outta my time.
Yeah...that **** is terminal.
Keep you posted about the headers. I'm honestly hoping someone wants to buy both at once. My buddy at the shop, says he wants the headers...says he wants the blower but............don't know if thats gonna happen.
