i dont recall the exact weights.....

you will most likely be recieving all the hot parts, and some other ****....

the headers and crossovers take some time to install, get lined up how u want them, clearance them from ****, etc etc etc.... youll prolly get 2 shipments, but i cant really speak for hi-flo.....

Just FYI, some of the easist tuning we have ever done on my car is getting the under boost WOT stuff right, that was pretty simple. The hardest part has been getting our startup, idle and other stuff down. I think we just need to read our BigStuff documentation more

did some more tuning last night.... long story short....we had it pretty close, never put in power enrichment. when we did, it kind of screwed everything up...eventually got it pretty close.....cars running a little rich...but its safe to WOT....

car is at 11psi, and ~10.5a/f. this setup pulls HARD. sucks you right back in your seat...and is just nuts. we've defenitely got some more tuning to do, about 4psi to add, and a couple little tweaks that will add some power. i defenitely need to get used to driving the boost again.... but it is just awesome. with my buddy driving my car, and myself being in my other buddys car making just over 400/400 on a cam'd LS6....the car pulls away HARD. the setup just works..,..really good. im impressed.

with my butt dyno, i'd say im somewhere in the mid 600s. id say at the same boost with more tuning, and a couple other things i can add about 30rwhp... then ill max out the 2 bar...and hopefully land me in the high 700s. for now i just got tweaking and learning to drive to do.

hi-flo really came up with a good product, and im glad i stuck with it. i can probly roll some vid tonight...depending on whos out tonight.

the cars not ready to do any official racing yet....but ill prolly do some shakedown runs agaisnt my buddies
