I tried to clearance the header so I could leave the valve cover on and it didn't work but I did get amazingly luck because now I got a lot from between my starter.

Any yeah, belt wrap is a good thing. I learned a lot about that on a Magnuson MP122 build I did about 12 years ago. On this car, I just want to do what’s least intrusive. |

Oh, and I’m with you on the old 122 blowers. Mine was on a heads/cam LS1 that was in a ‘67 Camaro. It “only” made 540 whp with 11 psi and meth, but damn did it sound good. That blower screamed. |

praying for a Kooks vs ARH vs TSP header video soon...I was ready to push the button on the ARH but TSP has been proven now and in the past to produce a product that gets you a lot of bang for the buck! I have to really argue the pricing point when it comes to headers in particular. Most other parts I'm like meh whatever heres my Visa card.....lol

I won't lie I'm the 1st one to say I spent more than you or I have blah blah blah on my car. But these are every bit as nice as kooks that I had on my 5th gen. I never saw a set of ARH so I can't say, I've seen stainless works they are just as nice.
The flanges are perfectly straight, the primaries are thick and 304, the welds are good and beautiful there no disruption in the flow where it mounts to the flange. They came with stock gm new gaskets O2 extension which aren't even needed atleast on my car.

Here is underside pic of TSP headers I got the car bak on lift and was able to make the headers go straight down the center.. I cur a tad more off stock exhaust and barely cut the mid pipe or cat delete so it would not run up against the bend. So disregard being off center from previous install critique.

The TSP were thick, the flanges were straight. They still look beautiful 7k miles later. . A 3 or 400 dollar difference okay.. but a 1500 difference cmon.. I'd could put 3 sets on my self for that price.
I heard the same debate on Chinese cranks.. the callies low end stuff steel from China machined in USA I never had a problem.. the dragon slayer all american..the Chinese metal made a lot 1500 hp happy camaro owners w no failure. The story I got the one of the kooks designers left and started ARH

Don't know how I missed this thread when you originally posted it.
Thanks for all the detail and pics! I hope to start down this path next year when I'm travelling less and have more time to work on the car.
