Well that's good to hear. Just making sure it doesn't look like a John Hancock/ Richter Scale layover. Did he tell you that you have a loose converter, exhaust leaks and a bad ignition system?

Lol no im happy with the curves, they hold until 6200ish where my heads fall off. He actually told me my plugs might be an issue, which they were. Other than that everything went well. BTW do you have a Lid/regular lower airbox lying around?

lol, that would explain why it was performing like a stock LS1 would! Should buy that header wrap from Josh to protect your plug wires if he still has it.

Better...

Let me know if you still want to borrow my spare lower airbox so I can bring it to Bob's.

P.S. You can make fun of my LS1 all you want when I'm running low 12s with my forged motor.
