well i got bored so i thought id get around to uploading pics from my headers install
removed things in the way


pulled the motor forward to get rear mani PITA

Got the front put on

all in all it took 3 times longer than it should have, cut hands repeatedly, chiped paint on subframe conectors/dogbones, and got RTV on everything
job well done! ill take it tho not that bad

*thats pretty much how the engine bay looks now, except i have blues old blower and LIM on it now, its black but the paint sucks ill get new pics up when i can get the thing repainted.*

this is my fastest time... yeah i cant launch i found out i had to completely let out of the throttle, still ran him down tho
Im in the left lane my buddy connor (smitygtp) was in the near lane
this was at the grand prix meet in kansas city 2011 many of you were there
2001 mods (my car) 3.4 pully, intake, sd headers, reptile tune i ran 14.30 @100.79mph
1999 mods (his car) Intake, reptile tune.. ran 14.4x at 95mph.. (possible??)

with a 2.0 60 ft you have a 13.3-13.4 car..i think you may have higher lift rockers that you are unaware of or a VERY spot on tune..seems very high for headers/3.4 only

that woulda been awesome! if only i coulda hit the 2.00 60ft.. ive been told i can hit mid 13's if i woulda hooked up at all
lol and i dont think i have rockers, but i guess i cant rule it out
Brian (Reptile) tuned my car with just his basic 3.4 canned tune + the cat codes / egr delete (the code removal was after the track days tho)
He must have a kick-a** tune for the basic canned ones
i guess ill find out if i have rockers when i pull the heads later this summer for the new ones
