The same ones I've always ran.. 1 7/8 stepped long tubes made for the subfram by 21st Century. That's the same size we used on the dyno. Two inch would make more power but A. that's a PITA and B. I don't need more power.

I also switched to Centerforce's new twin disc clutch.. now typically I'm against these since they are more of a PITA than helpfull, but we installed this on our 2010 Camara and it was both stupid easy to install and felt like a stock clutch in the car with zero rattles or issues.

The flywheel is steel but the edge has been lightened and from a MOI standpoint is equal to an aluminum unit without the associated problems. Should hold up better to the power and to how I drive.

Looking very nice Steve! Are the headers out for new coating?

BUT.. both my Wilwood and Baer systems never let me down and at last year's Optima we placed second in the braking challenge just behind the Cobra (and just ahead of a GT-R) so they do get the job done and are very simple to live with.

My Wilwood is 1" because I liked the feel better.

Good to know! I figured that it worked well for you... but was just wondering. Thanks for the reply.

Ahaha, I knew you would want one when you saw it. You know, Dick is installing those pedals in Josh's car next, he could just make a second set of everything...

Seriously though, I envy the fact that your car just flat out works I know it took a gazillion hours to get it that way.

Greg, some of us aren't as lucky as Steve, and after all the time and money I spent trying to fine tune and fix my system to no avail, I figured I might as well change pedals and get a full floater when I had the opportunity.The amount of adjustment that system has just boggles the mind. After all, what can I say? I've learned well from the man who, when he needs to change oil just gets a new 461 LS motor because he has the opportunity

Steve,

Did you change the oil pan? If memory serves, you had a road race milodon on the car last time?

Your new Tilton pedals are freaking badass.. I wish they were easier to install.

Why change oil when you can change engines? lol

I had a Canton pan on the last two engines.. great pan but with this 4.250 stroke there just wasn't enough pan clearance.

I found the Autocraft pan had more overall clearance so I'm running that but I did have to notch the front of the pan to clear my rack. Very nice pan, heavier than the Canton, but stronger as well.

What I really need to do is draw out a pan and have Canton make me a custom one that will give me maximum clearance and fit in my frame.

Yeah -- I always have to call Charley and beg for some $$ when I want to do something..... So far.... I'm not getting to do very much!
