Default Just ordered Stage II Heads from MTI

I am going to be Jeff's guinea pig. There haven't been too many, if any, other 02's going with this mod yet. I have added the C1 cam, TPIS Headers, new PCM, MTI ram air, and tomorrow I am adding the Underdrive Pulleys and very " high flow cats". It will take Jeff 6-8 weeks to build them, but I can't wait. He is ordering a new set of 02 heads and starting fresh. This guy is great. Now all we need is for the combo to make some real power. Gotta have 425 RWHP before I put on the spray. I really think the cam is asleep waiting on these heads. Wish me luck! :crazy:

Congrats on the decision! :cheers: You're in excellent hands with Jeff.......he'll treat you right. The setup you're going with should bring at the very least 425rwhp......i'd guess more like 435+. :D Keep us posted.

you will achieve 425 no problem....I got 427 rwhp with shorty headers and stock main cats in place. (Hammer which is C1 cam and Stage II LS6 heads)

so you should see 430 to 435

Jeff is a GREAT tech !!!!!!

The 02 Z clutch is pretty strong. I will use it until it goes and then I will go with a Cartek.

You bet. I am going to take a ride in Jeffs car today. I rode in it before he found 71 more RWHP from his stroker and it was pretty strong. Looking forward to seeing how it runs now. I think he is at 471 RWHP or more, can't remember. The spray will have to wait until after Christmas unless I find a money tree.
RG :cheers:
