I am still waiting on the video. Hope you atleast caught one before you bolted the header collectors up.

Well I had to put the down pipes on to put the forward O2 sensors in so not to throw those codes. I’ve got a freshly programmed Blackbear. Not getting the pipes connected till later next week. I’ll get some video/audio clips, nighttime would be better. I’ll have to take it outside of town, I live two doors away from the PD

Send it now, see if they're cool or not. Let us know how it goes. Good luck!

Oddly enough reminds me of how my old 350 sounded with open headers.

got the collectors to exhaust welded up, neighbors are happy. need to replace the exit section behind the muffler yet. need to get the cam retard offset checked. seems to run very well, haven't pressed it hard, towing will be the test. changing the nv4500 fluid helped with the 2-3 shift. going to change the fluids in the front and rear gears. new power steering pump made a nice improvement. new clutch is smooth. now if I can afford to drive it.

My initial stab of the dizzy was -6*. Got it set to 0 with the scanner. about 75 miles on it, feels like it gained the 100 hp we were hoping for.

Great to hear. Have you had a chance to put some miles on it?
