Thread: XP cam and topswap on Ported manifolds?

As you probably read in my other threads of questions, I recently top swapped and cammed (xp) my GT. Well the SD headers are out of stock atm, and am curious if i can just port the front manifold myself and do a u-bend delete and be safe until the Headers come back into stock. I'm running the stock pulley by the way. I read on another forum that it should be alright but i would like to double check with you guys first.

yeah you should be fine, just dont rag on it

Beat the piss out of it. You'll be fine.

roger that

Don't even waste your time porting the manifolds. So much time and effort into something you're only going to change a soon as SD headers are in stock. Just keep your foot out of it until you get a set of headers on it. Work smarter not harder.

Edit...stock pulley...even with stock manifold you're not going to hurt it.

hell, just leave the manifolds. get a downpipe and run it as a torque monster.

Are SD headers like AR-15's now???? LOL I have a brand new set in the box I'll sale for $1,200...

What happened? I ordered mine the first of Feb and they cost $240 shipped... Then they price doubled then poof they are gone... Metal shortage? Importing? WTH??? I know they didn't have a run on them.

I was actually planning on ordering a set next Friday, guess I'm gonna hold off for a while

Go with ssac if they have them in stock.

I completely agree with that statement as well.

there are several reasons why i'd want to put together a downpipe, cam, heads car, but that's neither here nor there.
