I did the headers install today at my buddies workshop using a proper 2 post ramp and an air racket. It went very well and I can't believe how much easier the job was with the proper facilities. The install guide I down loaded said 5-12 hours using car ramps and axle stands at home.
We did it in 3 1/2 hours and test drive aftrewards perfect, no exhaust leaks or Y pipe touching under the car also no ground clearence issues.
Funny thing my car sounds exactly the same as it did before. I have a quietnes pack on the exahust with a single outlet. I could feel the car feels more responsive in the mid range. I have a twin outlet exhaust to fit yet.
I now need to get back to the track to see how this beast performs!
Hey the only damage to me is a small blister where I must have got my hand on the Exhaust before it had fully cooled down. Usually when I do a job like this I get my hands and arms scratched to f--k and my back will be killing me.
But with my buddy doing one side and me the other man is it easier!
I thought it would take us a full day at least!

Hi Andy,
I might get down to Shaky on the 11th if the weather is looking decent.
I am curious to see what my 1/4 would be.
being a 'vert I am carrying about 300 lbs extra.
Perhaps I should mark out a 1/4 in the industrial est. where I work, long strait, duall carr.
1/4 mile is 402 meters. Just need to get one of those wheele thingies.
I hope my time are respectable and i am not going to shame myself.

I will see you there, I don't think you have anything to worry about being a WS6 will give you a big advantage better gears a bit more HP!
There is no need to mark out 1/4 mile if you get a Gtech meter. I have one and did a 1/4 mile on the road with nitrous of 12.59!
I paid £39.99 for mine it does 0-60mph also. I got mine on Ebay but I can't see anyone witha decent feedback score selling them at the moment.
I have just fitted my headers and they look the business SLP stainless steel ceramic coated with 3" ypipe and high flow cats. I'm hoping they will knock at least a couple of tenths of my best time of 13.36.
Then I have my nitrous to try out again. I had a faulty solonoid last time out. I have swapped that for a better one so I will see what I can run with it!

Hi Graham nice to here from you again. The one I have is the basic one not the Gtech pro.
It's an excellerometer(spelling) and it senses movement of the car. It plugs into the ciggarette lighter and you get it level by adjusting it until it reads 00. Then you press the button when it flashes accel. then it says go! so as soon as you move it starts logging. for 0-60mph just takes it above 60mph and slow down if you you keep it nailed until about 115mph it will log you 1/4 mile time.
0-60mph times flashes up and then your 1/4mile time. It knows when you have reach 60mph and when you have done a 1/4 mile so there is no need to measure any distances yourself. All you need is a nice long straight piece of deserted road!
Once you have it level it's set to go any time. The 1/4 time is within .2 of a second of the tracks time. Mph reads a little fast compared to the track because it caculated differently.

Here is one like I have on Ebay.co.uk it may be worth a bid, I paid £39.99 for mine new.
Cheers Andy

I forgot to say that it sticks to your windscreen with a sucker.I have mine next to the rear veiw mirror so I can reach the button. I sometimes set it at a traffic light if there's a clear bit of road ahead.
I've had 0-60mph in 5.04 seconds without the stall or nitrous, but working 0-60mph from my 13.36 timeslip with stall it's 4.5 seconds should be a little quicker with spray, but I don't spray till I hit 3,000rpm via a MSD digital window switch.
The Gtech also does other things like cornering G's and HP but I haven't used those functions yet.

12 second run Well I finally got back to Shakey after moving house 2 weeks ago and I posted 3 good times and the weather was very hot and no good for fast runs.
I did 13.24@102mph on the motor 1.95 60ft
and 12.50@11mph with a 100shot of Nitrous. 1.97 60ft
All my other 60ft times were above 2 seconds
I aslo did a 12.75@111mph with 100 shot with the ASR traction control on as I was getting so much wheel spin about 20feet out as the Nitrous kicked in at 3,900rpm.
I was also having the same problem with N2O and having to back off because of serious sideways stuff.
On a better day I think I could knock a couple of tenths off those times and I still have 125 jets.
What I need now to go any quicker is DR's
But I am well happy with a 12.50!

Dam! I was hoping with your mods you'd be more high mid 12s on motor & closer to 11s on juice! as you pretty much have same mods as me minus stall & spray as that was the times i'd be hopin for. this weathers a killer!

12 second run I think it would with DR's and cooler weather and I am having a better exhaust box fitted soon to free up some extra power which the headers should be giving me.
I have what is called a quiteness pack single outlet exhaust for the European market, it sucks!
So a twin outlet muffler is going on next week and maybe then I will be able to hear I'm driving a V8!
I think with DR's and a 125 shot it would maybe run a high 11.
I think my 111mph terminal speed should have given me maybe a 12.3 but lack of grip prevented that. The track was prepped for 8 second cars so just the weather was against me.
I am about at the limit of my street tires, they didn't like an extra 100 hp going through them that much!
It was something I have not had to deal with before, hook on the line then 20 feet out nitrous kicks in at 3,900rpm and the tires broke loose and the backend went sidways enough for me to have to back off on all my other runs besides the 3 quick ones.
I am still happy to have a 12.50 second and 13.24 timing ticket though.
I think DR's would also lower my 60ft time, 1.94 is my best
