:metal: :metal:

Should make more than enough power for a street ride. Nice!

Car should run pretty good with that combo.

Nice job Edgar.....:nice:

What are you going to use to tune it with?

I'm taking it down to XXX Motor sports in Pensacola. He is the guy that always comes to our track day and he is a pretty good tuner. We want a safe tune with probably around 450-475hp and torque some were the same. Then again the AOD sucks most of it on the dyno.

Edgar, what did you guys do as far as the header bolts? Mine is the ponydown stage 3 kit and has 1 3/4 tubes coming off the header flange (1/2 thick) and I'm catching hell trying to get it to seal up right....going to try some header studs tomorrow, at least on a few of the bolt holes, to try and get it lined up right.

My problem has been mostly with the pass. side as there isn't much room to work over there. My downpipe goes under the manifolds where as your guys' goes over I believe.

This will be the 3rd time I've had them off, trying to get em to seal up right. I'm using the ultra copper RTV.....BTW, what's the proper technique with that stuff? Some say let it sit for 10 mins to skin over and some say put it right on there....:dunno:

also, what size exhaust are you guys running on there? Mine has the 3 1/2" downpipe, then into a single 3 1/2" race bullet that is too loud for my taste....

I did not use RTV on the header flanges because mine came warped. So had a hard time to seal them so had to take them to the machine shop and take as much as we could in a belt sander and bought a set of Mr. Gasket ultra seal header gasket, the ones that are oval type. The bolts are ARP with a 5/16 head 1" long and worked perfect. The down pipe is 3" into a Y 2.5 pipe with ultra flow mufflers from Dynomax and tail pipes. Right now we are having electrical issues and making the motor misfire but at cruise only not at wide open throttle. Tomorrow taking the tranny out, it is hurt, some how in the dyno, is shifting rough and don't want to down shift when coming to a stop and when it stops it hangs in 2nd gear. This damn car is pissing me off, ready to put a match to it and get it over with.

Edgar

Let me know before you do, Im coming over for some parts first, It never hurts to have a couple extra!
Nah j/k don't let that thing :whip2:you.
Do you think the electrical problem has anything to do with the tune or what was used to tune it?
