We are replacing the Steering Rack on the car and figured while we had it off might as well get the headers coated. These headers were 8 years old. I am pretty proud of the results.

Got the headers installed today, Didn't get time to put the steering rack in. Still have that to do. Have a guy going to redo my driver's seat Monday. All we need is some sign of life out of liberty and RPM.
Note the use of blood during the install, seemed to make things slide into place easier. http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...der-15-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...der-17-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...der-22-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...der-23-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...der-28-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...der-30-640.jpg |
Changed the valve covers out today. Went with some I had worked on earlier.

Dual boost?

How much HP should that inlet be worth? It looks to be a lot less restrictive, which can make big gains depending on how good or bad the original setup is.

We were debating that today. The fabricated (homemade intake has a curve rear that forced the airflow into the supercharger. This one has a lot of sharp angles. The homemade intake has approximately 35-40% more air volume than this one. Biggest gain I see here is in fitment and perhaps a lot better throttle cable arrangement. We should know in 2-3 weeks.

Just pulled the trigger on an FTI Stage 5 TH400 and all the supporting mods. Should be in next week and hopefully have the car running again within the next two weeks. Knew I should have done this in the first place and feel really good about the decision.
