FWIW, I run a T56 in my turbo LS1/RX7 also. Sucks at the track, but it's a lot of fun to drive. Both cars will eventually get Lingenfelter 2 step systems.

Indeed.

FWIW, both cars now have the 2 steps, and mine is now automatic (2004r).

Hopefully we'll get a start on fab work in the next week or two. We have a lot of work to do before spring.

Mocking up the headers. All plugs can be accessed from the top without any issues.



























^^^That^^^ is what the final layout will look like.
