Yeah, just a little ;) If it is too bad I have the stock axle back to throw on until I get something else.

Looks crazy, looking forward to more vids.

Christ that got to be loud as shit!!!
No cats or mufflers..lol wow
Sounds good though..nice job

[Darkside]

Nice, but buy some ear plugs. Close to my setup, my cam is bigger and I have 3" duals back. You'll discover all the interior pieces that are loose over time with the extra vibration. Cant wait to hear the results.

[travis gore]

sounds good

Numbers ????

Numbers ????

The numbers with the new exhaust is a classic case of bigger is not always better. It made 411 horse power and 370 torque with just the Doug Thorley Tri-Y headers. I was hoping for the usual 440 horsepower range that most with this setup are getting but I ended dropping to about 396 horsepower after the 1 78/ headers and 3 inch off-road X pipe were installed. My a/f is a solid 12.8 with 26 degrees of timming. The tune is there but with the ported heads and free flowing exhaust it needs more cam. I am going to throw the stock mufflers back on for now to see if I can get some scavaging and get a little more power back. Allen (from Nelson Performance) is getting with Patick G. to come up a good cam solution. Funny thing is that it feels faster or maybe it's just because it is loud as shit!! LOL

[Darkside]

Sounds all to familiar. The stage II cam made 423rwhp for me and it was decided that my 3" duals with no cats were hurting the power. Vector put in a bigger cam and the numbers went up to 441/407. I'm going to Vector this Friday to have it re-dynoed to see what it will pick up now that it has some more miles on it.

Throw some cats on and I'll bet that you'll pick up some. I picked up 2rwhp/7rwtq by channeling the exhaust down to 2 1/2 where the cats should be.

this^^ :hang:

Installed the stock axle backs and the car feels a lot better. Torque has picked up and horsepower as well. I haven't put it back on the dyno but I believe I found a some of the missing power. It sure is quieter but I will take the performance gains. I have actually been considering upgrading gears instead of going bigger on the cam since eventually I will be going forced induction. A little off topic but any opinions on gears with a stall and cam?

[mystic98ls1]

Just remember that nelsons dyno is very stengy, its not a dynojet its a superflow

[Darkside]

I plan on doing gears at some point. I figured I would wait for once and see what setups work best before diving in.
