    Yes, I heard about mag being insufficient. Does asp sale anything for it. Yes, you're right. 50 bucks increase and not 100. Have you thought about wrapping them instead of spraying them to lower the engine bay temp.

      From what ive read swapping to a ls1 maf and then copying the values should work, but for 10 psi , i shouldn't have to. I bought clear 2000 degree heat paint, ill try that before wrapping them, kind of want to show off the stainless steel, plus dont drive it as much.

        Just read up on wrapping them and thats what ill end up doing, didn't know too much about wrapping them, so ill spray them first then wrap them.

          So I got 1 side of the headers painted used 2 spray cans of 2000 degree clear heat coating, ordered 2 more cans to do the other side and also ordered 50ft of DEI heat wrap, got about $200 in materials so far, better than $900 just getting them coated at Jethot, will post some pics once I get them wrapped.

              I'm going to try and get this kit on, but its so damm hot out Im going to do a little at a time.First I need my double roller timing chain done and my oil sender cover replaced and need to delete the A/C too. Will see how much I can do. These 100+ degree temps are a killer, plus no garage , just a carport.

                Not bad Steve. Too bad it has to be covered with a wrap. It covers that nice metal.

                    One bad thing, to get my breather on I had to take off the STB, wont fit with the breather, but I run a 35mm front sway so probably wont notice it.

                        Ill install it, but have to do some stuff first. I have some parts and gaskets coming, then ill get started on it. So it will be a few months at least. Too hot out.

                          According to their full kit , it doesn't delete the A/C, so will see when I go to install it

                            Got the breather on and blocked the throttle body again, going to start the timing chain and oil neck next, if I can beat the heat.

                              Ever thought about doing a catch can on it. Are you also going to install cooling most or water spray on it.

                                Nah not a catch can the breather works good, zzp has a lower profile breather that I might get. Ill see how the temps are before I do water injection I don't drive it that much
