I don't want to deal with the hassle of the installation and keeping good gaskets in there. I have them on my 2 3rd generation F-Bodies and I just don't want to put them on this car, at this point anyway.

Re: LT1 Tuneup

I haven't had any problems with my copper gaskets so far, you have to torque them down, go through some heat cycles, let them compress, and then torque them down until they don't compress anymore. But they work pretty good. At the collectors I have aluminum gaskets, and they work great.
As far as the installation problems, mine went in in about 5 mins, both sides, , but that was because we were putting the new engine in at the same time.
If you ever decide to, good luck, and be patient, that goes for doing plugs and plug wires too. Plugs are a helluva lot easier to do with headers. you can actually see them.

Re: LT1 Tuneup

You might just as well put a delteq ign on there..especially since your due for new wires anyway. stockers are quicker to just take out and not put back in!!!
