We are testing several setups for the electronics, and have not decided which one will be our recommended method yet. Most have just replaced OEM tach with aftermarket, the rest of the gauges work. It's really pretty simple and there are many people running this setup on the street now with no issues. CA people will probably run in to the usual emissions issues, but that is to be expected. We will give more info on this when we have made our decision.

Any plans or thoughts on doing this for a Nissan V8, (4.5 or 5.6)? I ask only because swaps like this are illegal in my area however the swaps that are legal are the ones with engines from the same manufacturer. Chevy in Nissan is a no-no but Nissan in Nissan is yes-yes.

Nice work Sikky
I just want to say ... that I recently purchased Sikky headers and the fitment is way better than other company that makes the LS headers, which I had.
Keep up the good work

I'm currently converting my Z with an LSX engine. These guys are great to deal with. The only issue I'm having is the price of the headers. If the headers were stainless for the price they are offering then they would be worth the money but for mild steel not to fund of that. I would like to know if the Hinson SS headers will work with Sikky's set up? If so I'm all over those headers instead.

Hinsons headers are a "Special order part" and Hinson Return Policy says...
"All custom parts sales through Hinson Motorsports, Inc (HinsonSuperCars.com) are considered final. Warranty exchanges for defective parts are allowed within sixty days.
Special order parts are non-returnable. Non-special order parts from other manufacturers have a thirty day return period.
All returns must be pre-approved. Delivery of products without pre-approval will be refused."
You might just end up with a nice set of tig welded custom stainless steel headers that you can't do anything with.
Just get the Sikky headers ceramic coated.

I don't have any experience with them, but nothing about their website says "trust me with you LS swap" to me..... maybe if I wanted to bagg my ride, Haa.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye out. I may hit up some local shops that specialize in LS's or check the LS1tech boards.
