Default Installed Kooks Headers...Now....

Headers are in(boy do they sound FN awesome ). I did Kooks 1 7/8" headers with the 3"off road xpipe. Took me about 6hrs working off and on......Now the new cam is going in this weekend... Lots of work ahead for me this weekend... I have a Compcam 224/224 .567lift on a 115LSA to install this weekend. Also have hardened pushrods and PRC dual springs with titanium retainers. I am also going to be pinning the crank while I'm in there in preperation for a supercharger later....Then I will be taking it to my tuner next week to get a tune and dyno numbers...

The 1 7/8"s were a little painful to squeeze in but after they were in they fit great...

Thanks, Dont need much luck with the tune though. Cory Henderson(the ZR1 tuning God) is right here in my home town. Guys from all over the country ship their ZR1s to him to work on their cars. He did my C4 tuning, got 440wrhp with it and the drivability with it is unreal.
