Lt header, jlt, ngauge with e85 review

[cp5899]

I finished the install on my stainless power headers, cat less is pipes and frpp sport exhaust. Along with the exhaust I added a jlt cai and a Lund tuned ngauge with e85. The install was not easy, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. The forward most nut in the passenger side was a pita until I found out you needed to get to it from the top. Other than that it was pretty straight forward.

The stainless power headers fit great and build quality was better than I expected. The exhaust is very loud, but in my opinion sounds awesome!

The gains are night and day from stock. It was my first round of mods and glad I did it. I'm ordering a gt350 intake this week and next is a supercharger. Along with suspension mods I will be getting a drag wheel and tire setup as time goes on.

Stock the car went 12.8 at 112-113. I'm headed back to the track this morning and going to see what the gains are. I'm hoping for good results with the good weather. I'm not sure what I would be happy with, but it won't be 12.4's lol

I will update this thread later today when I get back from the track.

Here is a link to cars and coffee from yesterday. My car is the first one on the video and gives an idea of how the car sounds.

Sounds beastly!

Sounds fast if nothing else. Lol. Just needs a gt350 intake and about 11 psi of boost.

I did exact same thing. 12.8 @ 113 mph. Now 12.1 @ 116 mph, just new to work on that 60ft.

You picked up 3 mph? I was expecting more. I hope my goals are not off.

cool video. my favorites were the CTS-V sedan, the Lotuses and the LS1 Goat.

I didn't see it on the video, but there was a badass g35 with an ls swap and a huge turbo coming through the front bumper. He was pretty sick

Well my best mph before was 113.04 mph and my best Friday night was 116.8 mph

But I'm right at the rev limiter passing the line as well 7300 rpm. The car doesn't pull as hard that high up with stock intake manifold. Need a taller tire or more revs. Thinking about doing the gt350 intake.

Just got back. The verdict from the day is the suspension needs a lot of help!!!! Wheel hop through 1st and 2nd every pass!!! Best et was 12.2 and best mph was 118. 60 fts ranged from 2.5-2.0. With the best coming from the last pass and a 1.98 60'

Car feels strong but the first 2 gears are plagued with wheel hop issues!!

Are you still using the Pirelli and PP wheels?

No. I put new sumitomo tires on this morning. They had decent tread life and decent hook according to reviews on American muscle and YouTube.

They hooked decent. It was the uncontrollable wheel hop. Every pass in first and second gear.

I'm not sure how much it effects the times, but there was a head wind coming straight down the track all day. Not making excuses, just thinking back over the day.

The 60' just sucks. No two ways about that. I'm going to research what I need for the suspension and order it this week. On top of that some racestars for the rear and bias ply tires.

Get a slick. Pretty much same setup and ran 11.9 on second pass. Still has some left in it.

Stock half-shafts? Nice run

Yeah. New DSS 800 axles come in on Monday. And will be installing an MGW this week as well. Probably will launch a little harder and power shift next time out and see what it does!
