V8FC : looking nice man! What color you thinking about for this car when its done? That thumbnail of the black RX7 looks sick!

The quiet is achieved by an odd exhaust arrangement: the headers dump into an x-pipe, then the two pipes merge into a single 3" pipe with two inline mufflers.

ive never heard of stock LT1 heads as "nice flowing", and yea reverse cooling is nice due to the compression capability advantage, but still, you lose the vibe when you go with carb. dont get me wrong, ive got a 75 chevy monza with a 327 (carbed) and i love it to death. but ide never want to drive it every day due mostly to the carb (dependability, gas mileage, etc) and my STOCK LT1 would spank the 327 (bored 30 over, headers, wild cam, 4 barrel holley, edlebrock intake, heads of a corvette, high stall, 3.73). just shows the EFI advantage. its still gonna be a cool ride tho man, dont get me wrong!
