the LTs sound great! have you had any problems with leaking gaskets?? thanks

 

i've been known to blow out a few collector gaskets here and there gonna replace 'em w/ the copper seals once and for all

at the heads tho i have no leaks

 

does it feel any stronger? who did the tuning?

 

Do you have stock heads?

 

feels significantly stronger.. first mod i've ever actually felt a difference with.. pcmforless did the tuning.. seems pretty smooth...

yep, stock heads.

 

Cool, thanks for the info

BTW...the car sounds awesome

 

why do u blow out collector gaskets? is it b/c you get on the throttle a lil too much? also what are the brand of the gaskets on the heads ?? are they hooker? also the collector is where both left and right headers meet and go into the y pipe right?? is that gasket between the collector and the y pipe? also are your headers coated? and how will the copper seals prevent leaking?? thanks !

 

a man of many questions

I've just been using cheap paper gaskets for a while now, and they have a tendency of just drying out and cracking after a while, which causes the leaks.. the copper gaskets are soft copper and seal perfectly from what I hear.

the header gaskets themselves are FelPro 1406 D port gaskets

they are coated... and you are correct about the location of the collectores I also have one more 3" flange towards the back of my ypipe which makes it completely removable off the car.. it's where the ypipe meets the rest of my exhaust...

 

One more question. What do you have it shifting at? Thanks!

Bryan

 

Hmm the cars a little greener than i remember
But anywho, very nice! It sounds beautiful.

 

It's set at 6200, but I believe the actual delay it's shifting at about 6300... I'm thinking about actually setting it a bit higher, but I need to dyno it first

I'm looking into picking up a set of 3.73's as the 3.23's feel like they're slowing me down (doesn't rev fast enough lol)

 

thanks for all the great info! did you buy them coated?? or did you get them coated? also where did you get them and how much did you pay??? the only thing holding me back is just everyone i ve talked to said that their head gaskets always leak and it sounds crappy and smells horrible, but talking to you has made me feel a lot better about them ! thanks for you time

yeah.. bought them coated from Jet Hot.. I believe at the time (about 1.5 years ago) i paid about $620 shipped for them... no ypipe of course... i don't have any leaks at the exhaust ports.. no worries about that...

 

awesome !! youve been a GREAT help , also the link you gave me has a lot of great info . thanks alot!! i wanted to get them for jet hot as well , hearing all this from you makes it even better ! thanks again!
