FLP Headers on a '99 Vert
I'm leaning towards getting the FLP headers but have a few questions.
I have the following mods on a MN6 vette...
1. Blackwing intake
2. Corsa Indy exhaust
So will the FLP headers be a simple bolt on mod or do I have to reprogram to tweat the hp out of the mods? Also, will a LS6 intake manifold throw any problems in this setup? Thanks in advance.

As far as being a "simple" bolt on it's a little more indepth than the Blackwing and Corsa install however very very doable. Go to http://www.tpis.com and download their header install instructions. They tell you everything you need to remove to get this done (you don't have to remove the fuel line like it says though). You could get it done in a days work if you've never done such work before. As with ANY mod that alters the airflow into the engine SHOULD be tweaked to maximize gains however it is not necessary. 90% of us bolt our mods on and drive away with great gains. If you want that ever last bit then you should have it tweaked but like I said, most of just drive it after they're on ;)

Nope. ;) The LS6 intake is a great mod and will compliment all of your mods.
If you're interested in the FLPs, contact Mitch (mitch@Sprynet.net) and tell him Levi Procter sent you. He'll get you going!

I have similar mods of a different brand and didn't need to tune after the FLP install....including a Z06 intake manifold. Post install dyno produced 18 RWHP and 18-20 RWT gains. Considering this is a bsically stock motor, not bad IMHO. Go for it, you won't be sorry.

Hey Levi, scr..w med.school & open up your own race shop. :D
I know I'd be very good at it. I'm very meticulous and a perfectionist. I plan on becoming ASE certified and trained at a school like S.A.M for performance engine buidling, etc when I retire. I need something to keep my hands and mind busy. Maybe I'll become a tuner for the CF in 20 or so years, :lol:
