they are 1.15 exhaust. i thought they would be to laggy, but they are no that bad at all. hks 50mm gates and hks blow off valve. little cam(hehehe) and ls1 heads which i flow benched and ported at school. I used these heads to lower the compression ratio a bit other things here and there but you get the point.. also running a 75 shot off the line.

i can stall the truck (stock stall......) at 1600 and get 2psi out of it, but it doesnt take long to get to 12psi, maybe 3200 i think. right in that area. if i could do it agian, i wouldnt run a 1.15 on the street. id go smaller. they are nice at the track(street tested, track is closed) because i use nitrous to make up for the lack of boost.
