Most of the guys that have gotten the ebay/OBX's have been more than satisfied with them, can't beat stainless headers for 3 wheels

Tim, are the headers that you just ordered for the blown 6.0 in your sig? I'm thinking that you might want bigger primaries than 1 5/8 for that mill...they're perfect for white1's 4.8 though...

Thats kinda what I was trying to get at with the 2.5" collector.

On a side note, cant wait to see how yours does with the new mods. Should I assume the LQ9 is going in on the 22nd also?
Cant wait man, you were a lot of inspiration that started the build on the "white1" rest her soul lol

Thanks man, I had no idea that I inspired white1, that makes me feel real good I'd love to be doing the LQ9 next weekend, but that's still a ways down the line...need more dough for more parts, and I have a divorce and move happening this summer also. Hopefully once the smoke clears from all that I can start gathering the parts for the 6.0 and maybe get it together by next spring/summer...this fall would be the best case scenario, but I don't see the funds being there for that

Plus, I'm waiting to see where the new converter flashes to and base my cam choice on that...I have my eyes on a TrickFlow (ground by Comp) 220/224 .575/.575 112 or a Comp 224/230 .58x/.58x 114...I'd probably want to step the gears up to 4.10's for the 224 cam though

Yeah Billy, they are going on my 2000' with the 6.0.

They still have to be head and shoulders over the stock manifolds wouldnt ya think?

Kinda too late now.

Hate to hear about the divorce. That sucks man.

As far as the cam, Go big. I ran a 223/226 in mine with 3.73's and a 3000ish stall. Cant remember if the 12sec passes were with them or the 4.10's though I just had the LQ4 also.
Its cheaper than you think man.
PM me about it, so we can leave this guys thread alone lol
