Default Autocross-TSP Long Tubes

This run I missed a cone in the beginning, but still a fun run.

Sounds great. Are you happy with the headers, any issues?

no issues, love the sound, with the NPP I can completely quiet the exhaust and with it open the beast The belly plate has to be shimmed to clear the long primaries, but TSP has a new late that I will have soon to get the clearance without shimming. Picked up close to 53 HP with headers and a tune. E85 Flex conversion is next with a VMAX Throttle body sitting on my desk and a Haltech Intake, then heads and cam are possible .Want to see what I can get out of this engine NA before I get a stroker. I had forced induction on my prior car and want to avoid that on this one. But time will tell, perhaps in time a pair of twins or a SC will be on board.

Nice! Are you running the catted or non-catted TSP x-pipe?

What's your opinion on the smell with the non catted, is it noticeable? Also where did you have your car tuned at, any dyno graphs?

Thanks

I have no issues with the smell, my prior car was a SC Camaro did have the smell. As far as tune, HP Motorsports did the tune I did not print a graph. Their dyno reads inherited low numbers overall, so the actual number was not on par with other dynos. I am having retuned with E85 flex conversion, ported TB and possibly Haltech intake. and will post numbers then, I should get printouts.
