Nice Vette! You are gonna lose a bit of low end torque with the 1 7/8 primaries. Should have gone with the 1 3/4 unless you are planning on boosting it in the near future. ;-)

thanks for the compliments guy! i am very happy with the car. it is in beatiful condition. im not sure what took me so long to make the switch from mustang to vette but im glad i did it!

im not too concerned with the loss of very little low end torque. who races in low rpms anyway. im not 100% positive where i am going to go with this car. for now exhaust cam intake. maybe some spray.
