Headers yummmm :)

These jus came in today

woot woot

Pacesetters...NICE. That car is going to sound badass. How much of the work are you planning to do yourself? (or ourselves)

damn they look purrty

Make sure you wrap those bitches because that black coating will pop right off after it has been heat cycled a couple times. I have a pace setter on the ***** and that's what happened.

looking good

Well count me I'm game to help, as long as we are doing it from the comforts of inner heated garage or something like this and for the record let the pain begin!!

Ive got header wrap but it'd be about enough to cover half of one.

I've never believed in header wrap, beucase it doesn't allow the heat to escape quick enough. My old 72 Road Runner had a set of old school hookers with header wraps and I blew a quarter sized whole in them at one spot. I've never blown up a set since. The only time I use it is for protecting my wires or something.

My two nickels!

Well im down to watch people more capable work on it

Well that's more than I know about it so I will take your nickels worth. I've never wrapped mine either.

yup he is right plus if it gets wet it holds in water...... They will crack more often and get holes in them more often then with not wrapping..... the only thing that wrapping is goof for is a small amount of heat control.

well no worries guys. All the motor work is done, we are just going to go over everything with all the torque specs and make sure everything is right (valves, cranck ect.)

Besides that the car is going to my fathers house to be worked on which is 80 miles away....if anyone wants to come give a hand, be my guest! Otherwise with a little hard work we'll pull the old motor and drop in the new one Oh and get a tune...which...btw....who can I go to for that? I wanna go local, but I want it to be a pretty good job. any ideas?

Talk to 32vApe from the MCT forum. He owns a shop in Middleton, the guy is a genius

quasarz28, what year is your car? i have hptuners software and might be able to tune it for u.

94, OBDI

yea, its gotta be obd2 for me to tune it. i would take it to speed inc. they specialize in GM's and are fairly close.

^They dyno tuned my car. Great work.

I had some ceramic coating done by classic coatings in sheboygan. I haven't used the manifold that they coated yet but it looks great. I have a jet hot coated turbo manifold on my car right now and it made an enormous difference in underhood temperatures.

If you want them coated HY-TEC coatings in Waukesha coated my longtubes for $200

Looks like they did a nice job

That's a pretty good deal...I think. I've never had it done before, but it sounds cheap haha

ohhh nice...although for some reason chrome engine bays remind me of like classic cars, I think that would be alright. I guess anything would be better than rust

They have different coatings in different colors, mine being the most expensive.
