The headers have been on for a while. With his car being SOOO low, the x pipe being 3" with 4" fake cats is scraping a bit to much. We are looking for a 2.5" x pipe now and also removing the PA deep pan we put on the trans. Need to switch to a Trick Flow pan that holds a bit less fluid, but won't hand below the headers.

I KNOW what you mean!!! the deep pan and low-ass headers can be an issue being that slammed-low.

Not to mention we are going to add about 150# with the SC kit.

Looks like it's all here! I have to give major props to 99horsey. This was a large purchase done via email after him mentioning that he might sale the kit after his motor blew. I asked for first look at it if he sells it and he honored my request. He sent me pics as things were coming apart and after we agreed on a price he kept me up to date on every move he made during the transaction. Top notch seller in my book, hell he even labeled the wiring as he took it off for me.

So, here is the goodies!

I'm glad everything made it there ok. I was worried about shipping stuff so heavy and expensive, but it seems like FedEx came through. This should be a fun father/son build. I wish I had a setup like this when I was his age!

Like my wife told me, this is his car, not my second car. Lol

I am just getting cought up on this thread. The first dozen posts are pretty funny after recent events. But this quote is my favorite! Well played Sir. Well played.

He has a better chance of driving my car down the track on low boost after some practice in his ride then getting FI before he graduates. Like my wife told me, this is his car, not my second car. Lol

Do I make him wait or let him drive me down the track!

This is where all Dad's pull the, " Do as I say and not as I do" move. Lol
