IMHO Construction techniques and design have alot more to do with it than the wall thickness alone...

I am sold on double slip joints..
is there anything you havent seen or done?
you talk like you know everything, but your unwilling to post pics of the stuff youve worked on

My exhaust write up... With pics...

The control arms have since been bead blasted painted and had the ES poly bushings put in..

An IC does'nt need to be massive to work. Especially with full exposure to airflow and with alcohol fuel..

Side view of fender gaps after QA1 springs (silver).


Shot in a garage... The light on the ceiling caused the camera not to flash but the hood blocked light to the engine bay.... Hand polished. Looks like chrome...



Before I changed spring rates and to QA1 springs instead of the eibachs (red) that sucked. My old wheels & tires too..



I have alot more.. I just need to find my CD-R photo back up or wait untill my lil bro resurects my toasted former hard drive enough to get copies of the files..

I have some first gen camaro stuff, 4th gen greenwood vette custom ss exhaust... Alot of different things...

Links were borked to imagestation....

They were up there so they survived my HDs hissy fit...

Check the difference it port size between these heads...

The big port head is just a 1g with some really basic light cleanup work to the ports and bowls. The guy I did that head for was a tightass... He ran 1990 manual trans cams instead of comps etc.. Still was a fast car..

The vette exhaust was'nt a bolt on..

With the DSM i could get a stainless 3" turbo back for under $500 if I shopped around enough.. It did'nt pay to build a system from scratch.

I made my own beaded intercooler pipes and welded on the mounting tabs and endtanks on the IC core...

Thats not a bolt on..

As far as I know I was the first one running 160lb/hr injectors with E85 and E98 fuel on a DSM..

A narrowed 9" held in by a four link on a hurst olds is'nt a bolt in either... A friend has 2 455's one real hurst olds and one with a swapped in built up w30 with a fogger system on it...

Also if anyone ever sees a big black BMW four door and hears a BOV and a two step revlimiter.... Think twice or make sure its a good run....


Oh well lets cut the crap... I want to see how his collectors and headers turn out.. I can drive to stainlessheaders.. and will to get the components I need to build mine...
