FNBADAZ06 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Don't know.....I'm going to need to go have a few brews and some sliders to think it over with I could always just have the parts sit on my countertop for another year...I'm pretty good at that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOXXOH Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Well you damn well better be running 10s with that. But you really should hold off on the cam for just a bit. A year ago you were planning on getting on the tires only list, but just couldn't control the urge to do the CAI and ZR1 exhaust. So just bring the cam to me and I'll store it for you until you deserve it as a reward for the first goal. The headers and tune can get you into the top 10 bolt-ons and maybe even the top 5. You really do launch as good or better than almost everyone else, so getting that goal shouldn't be too tough. I'll even go to Sac with you to help. Then do the cam, as it'll be harder to break into the top 10 on the internals list and therefore a new goal to reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayeagle Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 man .. that's a nice fat peak dyno curve for settin up shift points Prolly get a lil narrower when you cam it. Be awhile before I can do the bits I want -shrug- .. took two years to get alla peices together for my lil Duster back in the day .. bracket raced it for over 15 years tho once it went together. I ran a 10" converter for 2 years then switched to an 8" converter. Drove it on the Freeway cruisin at 75mph to Vegas, San Bernadino, Van Nuys an the like. All it takes is a bit of cooling ..the 8" converter was hardly noticeable over the 10" ..until you jumped on it She'd flash to 4700 on a launch and the 13" slicks held fast if heated properly. Gears were 4:89's on race day, 3.23's for hiway use 3020lbs with me in it (accordin to North American Van Lines truck scales) 10.27 best ET @127mph at Pomona a long time ago. Usually ran low 11's at LACR (hi alt and hot days useda frustrate the guys who came up from LA basin, they always ran about a second slower) The tunnel ram/cam/converter/gear change really 'woke' that beast up. Went from 6-pac/hydraulic cam/10" converter/3.91's (low 12's at LACR all day long)to tunnel w/highly modified center squirters/solid lifter/8" converter/4.89's Had to switch to 13" slicks cause the 10" would fry thru first like street tires ..was a blast to drive. -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had it on the kitchen counter for 8 months so there is a history of me just collecting parts just for the hell of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidal1313 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Why the BB headers over others? I know you did the research so please share. I'm too lazy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNBADAZ06 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Why the BB headers over others? I know you did the research so please share. I'm too lazy... Oli....I got a great deal on them, but I was looking at them anyways for several reasons: The Billy Boats are the only header where you can use your existing mid-pipe (x or h), so you save a few bucks by not having to purchase other parts. Of course, running your OEM mid-pipe also means you won't be running any cats, but BB offers a catted x-pipe as well. I'll be using my ZR1 exhaust with the headers. As stated, because you don't have the extra cost of the mid pipe the purchase price is considerable cheaper than the other stainless stell header packages out there. Plus, because they are local to us (Deer Valley airport area in NW Valley) you can go pick them up (and have them installed, if you wish !!!) at their shop Southern Car Parts has them on sale right now for just over $1K brand new BB C6 Z06 long tube headers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Didn't you put the full ZR1 exhaust in already? Or was it just cat-backs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNBADAZ06 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Didn't you put the full ZR1 exhaust in already? Or was it just cat-backs? Cat-back only as the cats and exhaust manifolds where the same. I used the X-pipe and axle back portions and LPM installed the LS9 manifolds and cats with my old h-pipe and axle back on Wishbone's car. So now, I'll have BB stainless headers connected to my ZR1 x-pipe and axle back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel so bad for you guys that had to put up with that crap. Did my teens and 20's in '60's an '70's .. s'funny to hear what useda be considered 'Acid Rock' in shopping malls Not many 'car tunes' grabbed me like 'lil duece coupe' (or most of the Beach Boys car tunes) or 'hot rod lincoln' What I miss the most is sittin at a stop light listenin to the music of a solid-lifter cam and the sound of a Thrush Muffled big block comin off a light hard.. basically any night on Central late '60's early '70's. -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerVette Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Those who spend thousands to make their car quick enough to require the bars have no reason to complain about their cost. Good point. And those who find themselves in a situation to use that safety equipment, won't complain either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
