Never heard of ARH super pros. I just thought ARH offered 1 3/4 and 1 7/8. The SuperPros might be a trademark infringement on LGM..... ?

Headers look identical see links below Thus the nick name ARH Super Pro

Odd tube length appears identical and tube routing appear identical

ARH has a right to be pissed (the read from the first link posted)

I'm not defending anyone here nor taking sides but at what point do identical and similar differ? The LGs slip fit into the x-pipe where the ARH are ball and socket. The O2 sensor bungs are different as well and, although I can't see much detail on the ARH website, it looks like the collectors are different also. They are a VERY close design though. I had a similar experience. I took off my 1-3/4" Hooker LTs and replaced them with stepped 1-3/4" to 1-7/8" slip on collector Edelbrocks. The tubes are routed EXACTLY the same. The Edelbrocks just look to be an exact, although larger, version of the Hookers. Now both of these companies make tons of headers and I haven't seen any litigation between them. I think you have to chalk it up to design constraints and people wanting the latest tech like merge collectors, long primaries, stepped primaries, etc. Anyway, sorry about the hijack.

Good luck with the TB allngn_c5..I look forward to seeing an update with actual information, lol.

Sorry fellas, just keeping the thread going I guess. To be honest the hold up is that the shop is toooo busy. ALMS is about to start and Louis is working all day and night on the race car. That's what I am getting from the guys. I am sure he'll get around to it. Just a matter of time. I know once he got around to my car last time, he didn't stop working on it until he had her dialed in, and then ran it on the street and brought it back to tweak some more.

Thanks for the info guys. I guess I'll be building the 402ci instead of the 376 that I let my friend talk me into.. Thanks again..

I'll hit the track a couple times to see what she can do.

what'd you get out of your 346 at the track?

An embarrasing 12.02 at 123.6 mph with a miserable 2.11 60 footer

I felt had I been able to cut 1.7's and make 3 perfect shifts I'd have been able to see an 11.5xx at 120+ mph. On one of my 2.4 60 footers I was able to squeak out almost 98 mph in the 1/8 th. Unfortunately I don't have any of the slips anymore. I think the 1/4 was 122.xxx on that run. My 123.6 1/4 had a 97.xx mph 1/8. Too bad I couldn't cut a nice 60. Should do better this year with the line lock.

BTW 3.42 gearing is not the best choice for the track, 3.73's would've helped a little but I think 3.90's would've been perfect. 4th gear was a dog with the 3.42's. Had the RPM drop from 3 to 4 not fallen out of the power band so bad she'd 1/4 a lot better. With that being said though she's not built with the track in mind. I'll hit the track just to see. Its an awesome trip car that should still get great gas mileage, and make one hell of a statement when I arrive. Also should slap the smug look off the faces of all these high end BMW's and Mercedes. Only this time it will be easier and with a more refined exhaust note, thanks to the LG Big 3.

cool...i only got one pass in on mine...stock clutch wouldnt take any more...anyways on drag radials i went 11.57 at 123 on a 1.87 60ft on a messy pass....spun on the 1-2, limiter on the 2-3 and 3-4....looking for high tens next month
changing out my LG pros for a set of ARH 1 7/8 and putting in a Spec twin disk along with a RPM Stage 3 390 diff...also will be on ET streets on 17in speedlines and GTO spares up front for skinnies with MH racemasters on them...hopefully get a 1.6 or better 60ft and do some track tuning and get 10s or close to it
You know where Mt. Clemens is? Thats where im origionally from.

I'd also like to swap to something quieter...either Ti's and cutouts or a 3" system

That zo6 gearing makes your car a bit quicker. Had you gotten traction you'd have been even quicker, probably 11.15 on a perfect pass.

I think you and your car would love the LGM Big 3. Very refined souding. Did you happen to see my car idle and rev with the system?? Its on youtube and on LG's site. Youtube just do a search for g6x3 and you'll see my car.
