Sorry for my english, I mean I had to install the factory headers back. I need the American racing headers for my supercharger. I am just loosing too much power because of the factory headers.
I will use the lift next week again and he will allow me to keep it two days (isn't it enough to do a header swap???
)
Maybe we have some parts with different dimensions here in Europe, I don't know
It just can't seem to fit!
In the mean time if you have any tips, please share them so I will have less trouble next week!
Mr Lumpy, thanks for the number!! I will call them on Monday or tuesday too, just before I start to install them again!!

I had to get out of the lift so we had to install the stock manifolds back. No need to say I am really pissed off!!! It seemed like the oil pan was the barrier, we couldn't get past it.
Any advise????? Please I beg you!!!

sorry, man. i had the same problem with the passenger side during my installation.
was your passenger header the problem too?
a mallet finally got mine in after about 2.5 hours of trying everything possible.
there was definately no "BOOM" in my case.

The problem is that I could not get any side in. I am telling you, we were three onthe car at the end and couldn't figure it out!
I was a little stressed since I knew that I had limited time and had to quite the lift (that might also have played a role). I see we had almost the same issue I will give AR a call on tuesday and go try it again by the end of the week, maybe I will have to lift the motor and at the saùme time lower the motor support (I don't know how to call it), that my give me a little more than 1" of room. Hoppefully they will get in. If not I won't know what to do!
Sportsdude, I am running A&A P1SC kit with single intercooler, the car runs great. (planning on a bigger motor in the future and I might go turbo too. And yes I am going to send my PCM to Andy for a tune!
Thanks guys!
