The only problems i really had with the hooker stuff is the distance of the headers to the ground. Otherr than that, its a good product for a good price, also gets your pinion angle just right, i didnt like the face that it moves the engine over a 1/2 inch, screwed up all the power steering stuff and alternatlr bracketry...but yeah, the mid lengths are the ticket.

Now we have what we think are some coil's not firing, almost ready to bring home, detail then auto-x, then cage and mini tubs, rims and torque arm or four link.....

While the Hooker stuff was a disapointment, Mike's car was really nice to work on, and will now run with the big dogs! We beefed up his subframe, installed our coilover kit, added additional bracing, and powdercoated the frame. We installed a set of our subframe connectors and solid body bushings. We also installed new upper and lower control arms. The underside of the car is stunning. We installed the Hooker headers, and also re-worked Mikes Dynatech exhaust system to tuck the X pipe up another INCH! Unfortunately the headers are the low point. I was able to tweak the driverside to at least match the clearance of the passenger side???

We also installed the entire Holley accessory bracketry. Fo anyone with a 2nd gen interested in using this stuff we have some work arounds and I suggest calling us to assist in making it work, it is the cheapest way to go, and looks factory, oh it is!

i see a new avatar.....anything new?

Going up to Chico today to trailer it home. Since we had to move the coil packs from behind the engine to the stock placement back on top of the valve covers (the holley system moved the engine back 1/2" so no room), we had to install the stock LS1 coils i got when i bought the engine, turns out about 1/2 of them are bad.

Keith borrowed a side from his buddy's car and it ran fine, so he drove it 10 or so miles to "shake it down". So alls well cept the coil's..plus he'd rather me trailer it home and do small trips for a while to make sure everything's good.

So, i get to pull a Camaro behind my Trailblazer SS, in the rain for three plus hours and i've never pulled a car before...it will be a Loooonnggg drive home, as i wont see anything over the double nickel....with a cold. wahwah.

You haven't left yet!

Mike you wants cheese with that wine??? :headspin: :D

Oh and don't forget we need pictures?? :popcorn2:

That was a lot of whining wasn't it?!?! You'd think going to pick up your car is EXCITING -- take two cold pills -- jump in the slug SS -- and go towin' dude!!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA



Towing in California SUCKS! That whole 55 mph thing just kills me.

Plus it was dark wet and cold, it was scary....haha. Piece of gravy!!! The TBSS towed it sweetly, and yeah Greg, i found myself doing 68/70 at times, whoa slow down nelly.....Too bad i got home in the dark, no pics.....now to the coils and gas guage....

It's only a problem if you get caught.... not like I followed that too much when I was driving for Keith

Mike post some pics. :poke: I'm in suspense over here! :)
