The DP sits even higher than it was the first time around. I only smacked it once then. The problem pipe was the passenger side crossover on the pham kit. Smacked that thing 20 times at least, other problem areas that are now fixed is oil drain back, plug access/no more burnt wires and no worries about headers cracking and better fitting manifolds.
With the DP now sitting higher I shouldn't smack it on anything. Ground clearance is great all around.

PSJ Too bad I could never get to a track at or near sea level, I'd give those times of yours a good fight.
Bottom 10's would be cake for me to hit with the old set up...currently kp's set up.
11.1@125 with a DA of 6000+ here
But this is a bad case of the woulda couldas huh?? Lets make it a race to see who gets to the track first, me or you....TURBOCHARGED.
March 15th is your deadline....ahh the ides of march
All jokes aside, thanks for the props, I just could resist not poking a lil fun, seems like its the norm these days here in tech

Let me ask you this, how many clutches have you had replaced? Me none, and I haven't had to rebuild it either This lil auto tranny loves the abuse, just like my 10 bolt loves 1.59 60's.

Better watch it Jer!im getting my T56 build for upwards of 700rwhp ,and cheap to boot...cause you might win at the track but an M6 would walk u topend Gotta thank LS1Joe
ANYWAYS back to topic,lol,is that paint like a traditional powdercoating to insulate it and keep heat out of the engine bay or is it just to help with the cracking and look purty??

Better watch what, you shrinking away into the rear view... Don't go all Fast and the Furious with me, 3rd gear is all I'll ever need for you M6 bastages from a roll, 2nd if you are really feelin like getting a whoopin. Double clutchin, gear grindin, clutch riding punks J/K J/K M6'ers..I keed I keed.
The paint is purely cosmetic, just wanted to paint the headers with something that would stay on so those truck manifolds don't rust.....I hate rusty stuff.
