I used Motive Gears. I purchased one hardened shaft from ECS and I cannot remember where Tommy obtained the other one. Usually the Driver's side goes but I saw two passenger side breaks so I opted to replace both while Tommy of AMR was down there.

These will be my final comments on headers in this thread. I will only clarify what the list is and who that I know is running the ARHs.
1) The purpose of the list is to consolidate data to answer the question, “What kind of quarter-mile times do these Z06s run?”. Ranger. The list is to aid fellow Corvette owners on the performance gains within each category. The drivers and administrators of the list can share the information in a limited format.
2) I elected to share my header and CAI manufacturer on the fast list. Other posts and PMs on the same run contained info in much greater detail so each reader could take from it whatever they needed. As for Robz, he shared info more generically on the fast list. His other posts, PMs, and GMHTP magazine article were again more explicit. Other drivers choose to display different info such as tire manufacturers or certain cams.
I believe that we are all here to assist fellow Corvette owners reach their goals.

I would personally do an CAI, headers, x pipe, a 150 shot of nitrous, tune, and DR's. I ran an 11.2 in my z with a CAI, ported TB, DR's, AR 1 3/4 headers, UD pulley, a big cam, and a tune. If you are strictly worried about beating your friends cobra I would do the above nitrous setup. A couple 1/10ths is not enough comfort zone for me since one small driving error will have you seeing COBRA on his rear bumper. With the nitrous setup you would make more power and when you don't need it the car will have better drivability. This is all strictly my opinion and I realize there are different ways to go about what you are trying to accomplish.
