Yep. I went with ARH ceramic coated. They fit like a glove and were a pretty easy install. No fitment issues.

Not 1 plug wire problem.. I would dent any header made around starter area to get the most gap allowed for the hot start issue.

My ZL1 is right about where I want it to be as far as performance. So I'm not looking for many deals along that route. However if something popped up, like a stroker kit or a fuel pump or some 30+ injectors, then I would probably jump on it. But I did get myself some suspension upgrades and a P3 gauge.

Right now my main focus will be on getting a blower for my 18 GT and a full exhaust system for my Hellcat. I'll have to wait for Christmas and NYE deals at this point. Hopefully something good will pop up and I can snag it.

The only way you are going to burn a plug wire is if they are touching the primary...You either get different plug wires that are angled and/or use heat sleeves. The steering shaft bolt can be replaced with a low profile button head bolt. So yea about another 100.00 investment to cure any potential issue. I have had kooks headers in the past. I am not opposed to spending top dollar on parts when it's warranted. Either way buy what makes you feel comfortable.

Ceramic coated headers won’t burn plug wires. And the better brand manufacturers don’t require denting or bending to fit. To me that’s worth the extra cost but I get people wanting a good deal also.

Grabbed a 6 point rpm cage during the Black Friday sales.

Let me know if you ever find a deal like that on a block.

I have Kooks, JBA, Stainless Works and TSP. I also had TSP on my old Hellcat. Only set I had a little problem with fitment is the JBA headers on my Ram. Primary was touching the steering shaft so I had to have the headers dented. I would buy TSP again if I needed headers in the future. Good fitment on my ZL1 and old Hellcat.

I bought some head gaskets, head bolts, crank bolt, timing chain and tensioner for my Hellcat short block going in my Ram. Got a Black Friday discount from HHP. Truck has a 2.9 Whipple and I don’t want to blow the bottom end.

I ordered some CF parts from trufiber for around 900. Unfortunately it was 2 days before they did their black Friday sale. *didn't know they were going to do one. They wouldn't add the promo since the order was already submitted :(

Couldn't resist, and ordered a set of 30% FIC injectors, and a Lingenfelter big bore hpfp. Got 10% off the whole order.

What fuel lobe do you have on your cam? I am among many others that aren’t fully utilizing the LPE big bore pump with a smaller 32% fuel lobe.

Mine is only 32% also, I know I will not get the max out of the pump with that fuel lobe. My goal is to lower the rail pressure with this pump and injectors (both LT1 based parts) and run E50 to E60. Low side will be upgraded also. If it is not performing the way I'm hoping for, I might install a cam with a 42% fuel lobe later on.

Will just come down to wanted HP. KingLT1 has me squeaking by with a 8.4 lower (5%) and 80mm upper with E60. I’m guessing mine is hovering around 1kwhp through an M7. Need to put it on a dyno to confirm. Most builds should bump their compression if running ethanol with a cam. Glad I went to 11:1.

I mean after a lot of reading over the years does it really matter the size of the aftermarket CAM? Won’t a lash cap and shims if measured and installed properly get you the maximum effectiveness of the Big bore pump?
