This is all the room I have with 1 7/8". #3 is even real close but not touching

brettman · 06-09-2017, 02:42 PM

Maybe they (ppl) are learning...lol. You got the 1 7/8 with NO clearance.
2" good. But I got the Kooks, you got the SW's, is that the issue??
And what gains between the two??? My (motorhead, crazy) friends said "BIG, FLOW" Don't back step......LOL

Chevy71 · 06-09-2017, 04:42 PM

I went with SW due to research and trial and error of other brands. I won't go into that to keep from offending anyone. There is certainly a gain in having 2", but my car isn't hurting for air by any means lol

My ARH 1 7/8" get installed Tuesday. Everything I read said the 2" headers should only be used for high horsepower builds.

No problem, I have plans for mine. I'll just keep building cause its fun, and I can...lol

Well, No joy yesterday. They still have my car on the dyno. I guess there is a problem between tuner and my computer, their not communicating. So with luck, I hope to pick it up today

You are a patient man, it must be part of retirement.

LOL, Ya, what am I going to do. But at least this is the last step before "Drive it like you stole" Mode. It isn't looking good for today either, last call was "We are Emailing HP back and forth."

Hey, you are going to get your AARP card revoked. Anyhow, hope the tuning gets resolved soon, so you can have some full fun.

Revoked? Hell, they wouldn't give me one..lol.
Well, there will be joy today. Got a call, all figured out. Forgot to fix the plug wires, so burned a couple. Waiting on my ride now.

brettman · 06-14-2017, 05:07 PM

JOY!! But not fall down Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy. Cleveland weather: Hot 90+, dry. (worst weather to dyno)
Pull was most of the day, about eight, with cool downs. Best pull 8:00am, 514hp
Before any real tuning, with just 6psi of boost< (WTF) with Whipples supplied CTS 3bar map. So, either I Aero-gauge it, for correct boost reading, OR just figure size for smaller pulley (keeping a 10-12psi limit)

UPSIDE: car runs great, LOUDER now. Haven't WOT, no were to hit it hard yet.
I'd post dyno charts, But they are worthless, The tuner and myself said, don't waste the paper. And as my twin would say: "I'll be back" <( with accent)

PART TWO: (coming soon)

6lbs? Really? I thought we'd have at least 8. Sounds like you are at least starting to get to the fun part Brett congratulations.

Mine is still in a box while I wait for my friend to be available to do the engine remediation.

:(

Yeah that's odd. The 3.500 pulley that comes with the kit put out 10PSI while connected during tuning. My AEM boost gauge shows anywhere's from 8-12 PSI during different conditions when driving. Glad you have her back though and I'm sure you'll get her dialed in soon.
