Thread: pacesetters installed

FINALLY!! ive had them since march just sitting around. the first time i tried to install them i had clearence issuies but i made it work this time. i must say it was a PITA!!!! the back header bolts were a SOB to get off. but once all the old exhuast was off the new headers went on pretty easily. the o2 extension harnes worked great, and pace sends you wire so you can splice the back sensor in (make it longer to fit) and that worked great. i used the clamps that came with the kit for the y pipe and a whole bunch of rtv. first crank and i had ZERO leaks. and i must say the exhuast note comming out the mufflers sounded GREAT with the headers and no cat. sounded like it actually had some balls. i was very pleased.

welllll, i took it easy all the way home and parked it over night to give the rtv time to dry and seal. the next day i took it out for a test drive. well i punched it and at about the top of first the damn Y pipe came off and i was running open headers so no those clamps dont work cause i had them on so tight it bent the y pipe in, made for a very tight fit but it still came off, so i just got it tack welded for 10 bucks at a muffler shop.

after about a week of them breaking in it runs GREAT!!!!! i couldent really tell the diff at first. i did notice the speedometer did move up faster but i couldent really feel it. but now that they are broke in the the computer has adjusted for it, it MOVES. well for stock atleast. i can punch it at 20 and break the tires loose. i used to not even be able to do that at 10. the only noticable loss of torque is when your crusing and you give it just a little bit of gas to speed up, it seems like it takes a tad bit more throtle to get it moving. it also holds gears longer now before downshifing with light throttle. but when your at WOT, no loss of torque at all. i will let it shift to second early, about 25 or 30 and lay into it and it moves out so much better, that used to be a dead spot but not now. power is MUCH better now. im very pleased!!!

going out to the track the 22nd. well she what she neted.

Nice! Just out of curiousity where did u order yours and what size primaries did you get? Ive been trying to find them with the 1 5/8th primaries but the only place that has them is the W Body store. The last time i ordered something from them it came without a box, all banged up.

Sounds fun

i got them from zzp back in march. just now got them on. im guessing they are the larger primaries because i dident see the smaller ones till about a couple of months ago.

I want pictures man!

Hey I gave you that avatar too

that look like crap. all the paint melted INSTANTLY so there all different colors. they pretty much turned to this flacky white color. i could problew have pics up in a few days.

Your car is running some nice mods. Is it really slow?

nah one of the guys going with me has a VERY exspensive camera and takes OUTSTANDING pics. HD!! so if you want some pics taken tdc make sure its clean cause you will be able to see every little spec. and yess video is a must.

dont feel bad, badazz. im not going to be running to my full potential myself, i burned a connector for my 02 sensor and by the time ill get it from zzp it might be to late. even if i do get it friday its gonna take some time for the computer to work things out. ehhh always gotta be a damn problem.
