I dont mind at all. The more kick *** Nova's the better.

It would be $1200 to duplicate the headers.

Ok & thank u , I like the headers low as possible & short , not long like the Stainless works , it'S (Stainless Works)a nice set but our Nova doesn't have long enough nose. I'll get back w/ u on the headers. Thanks again & that's gonna be crazy & I luv it.

Nice! I've no doubt you will get there unless it snows next week.

Nate,
Any problems with cooling while street driving? Do you have a fan on the radiator?

No cooling issues. It has Ford Contour dual fans on it. It runs around 170 all the time. My wife and 2 and 4 year old drove it on a 2hr trip when I was out of town.

I know I need more pictures of some of the rest of the car too. I need to get it cleaned up for an upcoming event so I'll take a bunch of pictures then and post them up. More engine comp angles, intercooler under the dash, radiator, etc. Those exterior ^^^^^ pics are from last year so you don't see the turbos thourgh the grille and it also has Mickey Pro's on it now and is a bit lower in the rear.
