Jason,
Before you change out the headers, try flipping the motor mounts around, so that the tabs are at the bottom. There is a picture of the motor mounts for Ridetech Velocity Camaro on pt.com. Rumors had it that Dynatech used Velocity to develop the headers (post 57 in below link). I swapped my mounts around and gained roughly an inch.

Just a thought, unless you absolutely want a new set of headers.

Did the flip of the mount alter your driveline angle? What is your driveline angle currently?

About 3.5*. No vibration. I'm using the recommended DSE mounts/Bowler crossmember though.

Denny's did a great job with the driveshaft...its a shame it can't be seen:



The new backlit Autometer's are pretty rad:



I was able to drive the car out of the garage under its own power for the first time since I got it. It was dark, so no quality video of the voyage.

I'm looking forward to getting this car on the road legally, even if it doesn't have a finished interior.

Just some random shots from this afternoon:









I picked up Tu's (rickpaw) Budniks so I'm anxious to get those installed.

Interior is coming along. Glass should be here this week sometime.
