the tb looks better in person , the throttle shaft is even machined down to help with air flow , plus it has a separate idle air bleed , for those with large cams and idle issues

only thing i kinda dont like is the black coating they put on the inside , woulda looked alot better mirror polished

Equal length primaries with HVMCs have shown gains over just the regular ole lt header, especially in N/A applications.

Not to mention they are 1 7/8s!!!!

Well got the headers installed already, had a couple of slight fitment issues. One I was expecting...had to cut the ear off the passenger side of the trans bellhousing. The other I was not - the driver's side headers barely contacts the brake line along the frame rail. It was easy enough to fix - nothing that a few blows with a hammer won't cure I'm going to send the pics to ARH though in case they want to modify the design a little bit.

The crossover doesn't clear my deep pan on the 4L80E, so I'll be swapping back to the stock one.

Here's a few pics:

Gotta move a bunch of the wiring around since I moved it from stock locations with the turbo. Looks like I'll have to put it back to stock locations.

I am very interested to see how you like the blower versus the turbo
