The are truck manifolds hu? You did some work to the driver side then. I was gonna say cause it comes pretty high up on the discharge. I'll go take some pics. Mine was put together prior to me buying it. But its not a bad setup. I really don't think 600HP is to much to ask. I'm sure my gto would do it if I got an agressive tune and meth. I'm putting together a turbo kit for my 92 Z28 and was checking out your driver side manifold and liked how high it came up. May try what you did with my 2002 manifolds. Have any pics og the construction of it? Thanks!

You'll have to cut the manifold so it exits straight out, i believe 98z28Cobrakiller did it as well.

They did a damn good job on that for you. I may bite the bullet and try to weld mine myself. Will see.... I may regret it!

Well guys, here she is, i had her running in the driveway tonight, pulled her out under her own power. Here is how she sits, I think it came out pretty good, im def happy with the way it all looks. Im going to color match the colors, all black.

Their is still some stuff to button up, so things are their that are just for start up purposes, like the HUGE line between the manifold and valley, etc. but basically, this is it.

My buddy Mark came over tonight to do some idle tuning and we started to bleed the coolant system. Still alot of odds and ends to do, Mount overflow tank, clean up lines, run new wideband stuff since what i have was extended for a rearmount, as you can tell from the massive amount of wires on the passenger side. Anyways, getting very close now.

Another vid to watch
