Quick Poll. JBA or Kooks LT's
This might be a better question to ask on a vette forum since most of us are F-body owners and JBA only makes shorties for our cars (as far as I'm aware anyway).
I voted Kooks. I love mine, fit is great, sound is great, and I gained quite a bit according to the butt-o-meter.
Good luck

kpowr82, Thanks for the input on the Kooks. On the other Vette only sites that I frequent there are mostly "bench racers". You know the ones that talk only and not run. I have a guy that says my Vette should be in the mid 12's because his feels that fast... I was like, do you have timeslips? whats your 60'? and others but he has never ran. Go figure...

I voted for Kooks because they make power. In fact, I'd say go for 1-7/8" primaries. It's the same price. Regardless of what everyone else tells you, you'll only see a noticable gain everywhere in the power curve after you get it tuned. Possibly 40rwhp on the Vette. If you want the absolute best torque figures possible, I recommend the LG Longtubes. However, the 1-7/8" Kooks will make more peak power and costs less. They also give you more room to grow in the future.
Kind of an unfair poll, if JBA LT's for fbodies don't even exist. How is someone going to vote for soemthing that doesn't exist? lol.
JBA has always been known for quality though, so I don't see any reason why the new LT's for the Vette shouldn't be just as good as the Kook's. Just they are so new, no one has any results yet....I have been searching for feedback but can't find anyone who has them yet.

They are on the expensive side, but I luked out. A CorvetteForum vendor ordered a set and got lost in shipping. Long story short the headers finally arrived at his door 4 months later. By this time he had a replacement set for the customer so he posted the system for sale as used and asked 1300.00. I offered 1200.00 shipped and now they are on my car.
Contact Melrose directly and tell them you have been referred and ask if you can get the LT system at a rebate. Can not hurt, heck drop my screen name for reference. The peopel there are nice to deal with and their product is some of the best quality you will see.
With only the Melrose LT system an LS6 intake, Vararam and DR's I ran a best ET of 12.20@114, 60' was a 1.80.
Good luck, drop me a message if you go this route.
