Default Install help please!

Looking for a helping hand to install my 2 newest modifications .

I just picked up a set of longtube headers and x-pipe that I'm dying to get on as well as a V1 vararam intake. Please shoot me a PM if you are willing and we can talk about compensation for time and expertise and possible time frame to do it.

Thanks in advance!!!

If I ddin't live in Eugene, I would help. Have you read this? http://www.ls1howto.com/index.php?article=29

I just helped install a set of AR headers on an 03Z last weekend.. You need to get the car at least 20" off the ground measured at the front of the tunnel/floorpan..

I haven't installed headers since I put set in my '69 Camaro many moons ago, but if you need an extra set of hands, I could probably help you out on my days off.

Try TC Motorsports in Auburn. They put my LG longtubes in, I felt the pricing for labor was very fair.

such a clooooose fit!!! you realy do want someone who has already suffered through it already. Any plugs that you forget to remove first will in all likelyhood have to be replaced. Someone with a lift would be ideal. My neighbor only has one to lord it over the rest of us, not a chance!
