awesome site vader. You really know your C4s. As mentioned on your page you said convert to 180 cc heads. Likewise i have the stock cast iron which i know cant be good for it. Do you have any recomendations on a brand and or price estimates. Thanks and sorry for being a bothersome newbie.

never look forward without already knowing a rough budget and goal

otherwise recommending heads is pointless

ok its like this......i got flowmaster 40 series, im removing the cats this weekend and running one freeflow in place of the resinator. I also have a K&N Filter with a open lid and a descreened maf sensor. Id like to get minimum 400 horsepower. I know this sounds stupid for the L98 but its just what i can fit into my budget at the moment(college student). Ive also looked into 1.6 rr for it. Im not interested in Nos. If willing to save and learn from you guys to get this accomplished. Im trying to find a set of hooker headers also. So any information leading to my 400 hp goal would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks in advance.

P.S. Vader thats a sweet ride. Bet it runs as good as it looks.

400 crank hp has only been done by Joe90 to my knowledge, there is no way, naturally aspirated, to get it otherwise with a TPI.

You will have to follow recommendations there regarding the Superram to reliably get there. Run searches for Superram and miniram.
