He has been involved with nascar, and other top notch racing, involved in research and development backed by gm, ford, etc. Him or stahl, are quite honestly the best in the business. Not cheap. He has a website. Pretty sure he only takes on select clientele. But don't quote me on that. Calvin Elston exhaust. Google it. A lot of his work and shared tech can be found at speedtalk and his website/blog.

That is a VERY different looking master cylinder than what I have. I have 2 reservoirs.

Yes some get lucky but it's a roll of the dice.

There are shops around here that will make custom headers for any car. Expensive and not worth it for a C4 unless money is no object to be concerned about. Money could be better spent elswhaere. Any of them will due but one has to be nuts to use the OBX . I seen Viper guys on car forums warned against buying them and bitch when they don't fit.

I don't understand OBX having problems. If you make it in a jig, either it fits or it does not. So unless your QC sucks, why would you have issues with fitting? IDK

True, except for the most extreme ones, it may not be worth it. That said, one off products do cost more and the gain isn't always worth it.
