Thread: Rockers vs Headers ?

You should be fine, I actually found the Imp SS we put them on when they first came out years ago had a little more wiggle room for whatever reason in the back.

As for the front, you'll have to give your AC lines some "love" to keep the front header from hitting. Not a big deal.

I would however, take it to an exhaust shop and have them cut out the low lying downpipe and make a straight bend after the V-Band flange. They're not bad headers at all for the money though. I had a set and after I put solid mounts in the car, I deleted the flex and never had any issues from that point on.

It was a good bit quicker than stock. Butt dyno loved it. Boost wise I probably gained 1 psi over stock. That's cause I lost about 2 psi with the headers though. Totally worth it. On a Gen 5, with only headers and a tune I wouldn't go lower than a 3.5. I still got a little knock on it at that level btw.

Sarcasm doesn't play well on the internet bud.

You put a 3.0 pulley on even a stockish motor and it'll last a week if you're lucky before it blows up. Read this.

Then do us a favor and post a thread in the intro section. If you have any pics of your car feel free to post them and tell us about yourself and your plans for your ride.

Sorry about the misunderstanding. Wasn't trying to be a d1ck.

I typed it up for a reason.

There to help out when needed. Especially in the sense of new platform help. It's a little out-dated, needs some revamping. But for the most part, it gets the job done.

Just a update, I got my ZZP Headers/3" DP, Yella Terra 1:9 rockers with LS6 springs, and 3.5 ZZP Pulley setup in the mail last week. Hopefully getting all installed in the next 1-2 weeks. Ohhhh, and HPTuners so I can tune it again, looking forward to see how this setup goes.

well thats a nice little shopping spree you went on there fella ... did you get a pulley puller ?

Yea, 3 years of VA Backpay finally came threw. . . I ordered a 3.5" MPS and ZZP Pulley puller . . . Figured that would be a good place to start with my tune and leave some cushion area to add timing if possible.

Hope you got an mps, you'll probably be wanting to go smaller on the pulley once you get the tune dialed in.

Sweet, I remember I got a check a couple years after I got out, army finally paid me for the year I was stop lossed. Used it to get my ar10 and a few other things, random checks in the mail ftw.
