Header instal time

**ionroller** · 01-16-2010

How long will it take to put in ssac headers. Do you have to remove anything to put them on. I have a lift so i can get under the car very easily. Thanks

its pretty straight forward some headers have issues with the trans dipstick other then that if your going in from the back you wont even need to worry about the valve cover in the back or anything like that
Plan on a couple hours

MAYBE the TB at most will need to be removed.

**kfish** · 01-16-2010

my trans dipstick needed removed, and i had to take the rear valve cover off. other than that pull the motor forward and drop it in.

**ionroller** · 01-16-2010

are there o2 sensor threads (bunges) I dont know if I spelled this right.

**kfish** · 01-16-2010

yea there is one on the rear header, and one on the drownpipe section.

You Women...just put SSAC's in today. Only things you need...

1) Ratchet straps
2) RTV
3) Patience

Oh...and we didn't take off the valve cover either...have someone underneath pulling on the DP around the lines and sway bar.

/end thread.

i did have someone underneath

. maybe i didnt wanna booger up my valve cover haha. is ryan happy with them?

Ask him

He was knock free with the 3.4" and had a smoothflow 3.25" hanging around so we threw it on. Top of the gear saw 1.46*...Gotta flip the sway bar though...the SSAC DP smacked the crap out of it and saw 5.9* of false knock. As long as he just rolled into the throttle...it pulled like a damned raped ape for stock cam/rocker...I think its got mid 13's in it.

**kfish** · 01-17-2010

wait, the dp hit the sway bar? wtf. mine doesnt. does he got shorter dogbones or anything like that? thats crazy

**alkygto** · 01-17-2010

Well... I just ordered the SSAC's. I won't have a lift to work on so I guess I need to know If this will all bolt/slip together with my SLP loudmouth setup. Will I need a retune? I am getting KR now from what I believe is a plugged cat. Should I do the install then baby it to my local dyno to check A/F? Car has run a 13.9 at 101 before with 3.4,ported blower and T/B,Thrasher CAI driving through smoking tires. 230 HP at the wheels, what kind of gains should I see?

Sway bar ISN'T flipped...and he has stock dog bones.

**kfish** · 01-17-2010

thats odd. guess these care arent always the same. my dp doesnt hit anything, but in reverse, it pushed the 02 sensor against the dp tunnel and groans. once its in drive its golden though.

**TheOtherNick** · 01-18-2010

**kfish** · 01-18-2010
