Re: More Pics of New Intercooler & Headers, Alky Kit
is there an actualgain with going with headers for a slightly modded SY? I have been thinking about it, but the cost is out-weighing the benefit. Is your alky kit plumbed into your air intake tube? That looks very nice.

Re: More Pics of New Intercooler & Headers, Alky Kit
Absolutely there is a gain with going with headers, unrestricted flow as with cast manifolds, also the amount of heat that is kept around with the cast manifolds. Yea MPE made all the piping and it is one of his own alky kits so they were able to fab everything and if anyone didn't know that one alky nozzle is only good up to like 500-550 hp so they had to install 2 nozzles to handle the power level of the turbo and block. We will be getting some street action in the next week but will have to wait about 2 or 3 weeks until the alky gets turned on for a day of tuning session. Then to the street to see if it will put me in the top 5 cars of the street racers in my area.

P.S.-You got any pics of the monte SS? My dad had an 86 SS that he traded and I've loved those cars ever since.
TOP 5? With that build? Who are you racing out there...damn...I would have thought you would be first easily.ViciousV6 said:

Re: More Pics of New Intercooler & Headers, Alky Kit
Actually we got 1 Grand National, 2 T-type's, Mustang GT, All pretty fast in the mid to low 10's that run out this way which i am hoping that with my extra traction and alky that i could be very tough on the street scene.
I will post up some pics of the Monte Carlo SS

All original 33,000 orig. miles, My granfather bought brand new in 1984. Unfortunately he didn't get the embroidered seats, he wanted the buckets and console.

You need to get your street day on video.I would love to see that. What did the headers run you if you don't mind me asking. I would even look into a set of used headers if anyone has any for sale? Thanks again for the info.

Re: More Pics of New Intercooler & Headers, Alky Kit
Sweet monte carlo SS!! I plan on buying my dad one someday when I graduate college(1yr left) He also had the buckets and center console. He traded it for a brand new S-10 back in 1993. He still has the s-10 up to this date with over 300K miles, yet he can't quit talking about his monte he traded for it...lol....Nice pics/car :tup:

Re: More Pics of New Intercooler & Headers, Alky Kit
Or send me the money and i will hold it over Keith's head til they are done. I do beleive the day is coming where he is stepping out of the business and only going to do local guys stuff and stop all his other work. He was given a job offered with full benefits and 401k which he really should take and then just do it on the side which would be local stuff.
We will see as long as i'm in to these truck i willl be able to get stuff done for them.
I may even step up a turbo size and then need bigger headers so mine may become up for sale in the near future.

NICE!!! So with headers you have to use Solid Motor Mounts, new Steering Shaft, and different lower water pump hose right?! ---

Mounts are JS steel lowers with urethane motor mounts, (have tie-down don't need steel) steering shaft could be modded(huge difference with play when i changed it), and the Water pump hose misses just have to wrap with reflective proctection. My ATR headers were close too.
