Default LG Headers

I took advantage of LG's end of the year header sale and purchased a set with cats for my '01 Z. After talking with Jonathan, I decided to let them do the installation. He said $600 installed with a tune. I thought that was a great deal. Drove over Saturday and had the job done. I want to say these guys where great. They knew what they were doning. First pull on the dyno with an AFE air filter 348rwhp, after installing the headers and a tune 368rwhp. The drive back to Shreveport I got 29.6 mpg @ 78mph. Next will be the Fast intake w/90mm throttle body, G5 cam and AFR heads. Let the mods began.

Default Can't drive 55!

Did you go w/ the x pipe too? With those #'s I suspect that you did. About how far are you away from their shop? When I first bought my Z, I went w/ the same set up and put the Vararam on at the same time. I ended up taking the Hi flows off after a short while . Sounds like you're going the right way and w/ a great shop w/ you're future mods. Good luck.

Thanks,
Yes, I went with their "X" pipe and kept the stock Z mufflers. I'm about 230 miles away for their shop. Almost a 3 1/2 hour drive. They open at 10:30 on Saturday. I was driving home by 3:00 in the afternoon with a big grin on my face. Bobby at LG say's they can do a cam swap in about the same time. So thats next on the list. Will also get the crank pulley pinned when they do the cam, for the future Procharger.
