I like it. What is the size of the primaries and the collectors? You need to address this issue. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-...l#post10148022

My friend took his Shelby to Kooks for longtubes/full exhaust. It is actually the car they prototyped the long tube headers off of. I must say that his exhaust is the BEST sounding mustang I have ever heard. Top notch stuff for sure. They tried a dozen different mufflers to get the right sound he was looking for. Look forward to hearing this thing in action!

Primaries - I don't know.

Diff stud was addressed long ago. Thanks for the heads-up, though.

I don't have a baseline dyno of the car. Prior to the Kooks install, I had Stillen headers, ultimate racing cats, and HKS Hi-Power exhaust with Cobb AccessPort, and some Fuji-something-or-other cold air. I have never dyno'd it stock or otherwise. Would have been nice for comparison, but oh well.

I will dyno the car before the new motor goes in. I may have to start an NA build thread...

What are your plans for the NA build? What compression ratio and what kind of cams? Let me know if you need help with info for the build, I want to see a well set up HR NA build and see what it can do!

Wouldn't you want a tune ASAP with that kind of flow? I figured you'd be running extremely lean after that much exhaust modification

Drew at Kooks hasn't posted any, yet. I am flying to pick the car up on Friday, August 2, 2013, and will drive it home.

Wossner Pistons (12:1), Wossner Rods, Ferrea valves/springs, Tomei 280 cams. Headwork, 600/720 cc injectors (haven't decided - talked to two tuners and one said 600, one said 720; may try both), intank fuel pump, Koyo radiator, oil cooler (probably buy a "stock" core and build brackets/plumb it myself), Uprev tune, etc.

The motor was started in Feb/March, and I keep getting the "2 more weeks" run around. I hope to have everything done end of September, but it all depends on when the motor gets here.

Already have Nismo diff cover, Quaife 1.5 way diff, dba rotors w/ ferodo pads, stainless steel brake lines and Hoosier R6s mounted to stock wheels.

Have been lusting after Quaife sequential trans...

Already have Cobb AccessPort...was told I'd be fine for the drive home. No point on spending the money on the tune with the motor coming.

Are you going to bring ear plugs? The way the exhaust isn't merged together, you're going to have insane cabin drone.

Even with the old set-up (Stillen/Ultimate Racing/HKS the car was pretty loud and droned on the road. I always have ear-plugs for road trips. I assume it's going to be insanely, border-line-obnoxious loud now.

I doubt you will need bigger than a 600cc injector, even with E85

Finally got a video. Stupid question, where's a good place to upload a video? Facebook? Soon as I get that figured out, I'll link to it. Sound is a little garbled, was probably taken on an iPhone.
