Default Ohhhhhhh mama!!!!! :D

Reading the new 'vette magazine finally convinced my dad that he needs headers and an x-pipe to go with the borla titanium and hi-flo cats.

After all my persuasion and attempts to show him dyno charts, he finally believes it when seeing it in the magazine lol. . .

Anyway, we're ordering soon so I'll keep ya posted :thumbsup:

Cool! Get those suckers on!

This is pretty impressive too!
'88 IROC-Z convertible: 305 TPI w/ TBAF, pulleys, 14.9 @ 92

I had a 305 TPI Z28 back in the early '90's and I could not get that car to run in the 14's. I think my best was a 15.2 at 92 MPH.

The headers should help wake the car up a bit.

Borla makes a Ti exhaust??

I know Corsa does, but this is the first I've ever heard of a Borla Ti system.

I don't know if they still do, but they did for a while. . . I'm just going by what I was told. I know he ordered Borla, I know he talked to the rep and they asked if he wanted the titanium one. . . I'll see what I can dig up, unless we got ripped off

Thanks, bro! That was about 40k ago, so I doubt it'll run that now. . . but still. hehe not bad for a mostly stock 305!

Considered the vararam, but we're happy with the blackwing and I don't think it'd be worth it to buy another intake. . . even if it is worth a few more ponies? Opinions? lol. . . It's hard enough to get him to mod the car more as is

Headers and dyno tune should give it a good seat in the pants kick, not to mention kick azz exhaust note!
