Default SS back on the road.

It has sat since July. Long story short . . spit out the #7 plug. I tried to heli-coil the head with the manifold on. Not good. Had a spare set of Corvette (374's) and sent them out. Started this project with a mechanic friend of mine a month ago. Couple hours here & there and now it's done. The only hi-po part is the off road y-pipe. Sucks it's gotta go. I like the LS1 more. But she RUNS and runs very well.

Just thought i'd share.

Only two things I can think of.

1. Mechanic at pep boys put the plug in wrong.

2. Clogged cats..

The exhaust flows so much nicer without any resistance.
