It sounds like you have an L98???

If you have done a hi-flow cat back too, you might benefit from bumping fuel pressure a few psi.

If you install a modern 3-stage hi-flow cat you will not only get more power gains but also assure that you will pass the sniffer.

Default pre cats cont,d

yes its an 87, but i had a 90 or 91 block put in it as the old one was putting exhaust into the cooling system and was boiling out bad, never the less the pre cats clogged the rear one, and i had to cut holes in the pipes before the cats to get it to run to my buddies shop, as far as what kind i put back, alls i can tell ya is it was from midas, only one in ogden ut that had one in stock, it was only 105 bucks, so im thinking it was a leftover paper towel roll from the mens room, lol, but i hope it works cause i have to emision the car next week for inspection...
