Yeah I will post up a review guys. No I will not be doing the install myself. I am actually thinking of getting an sts rear mount turbo smh I don't know what I want sometimes. Half the time I want to stick to NA then the next half I want big power lol

take my word for it man, i have done a few forced induction builds and if its your daily driver, stick to NA. if you have plenty of time, lots of patience, and lots of nickels to rub together, THEN do FI. you will be much happier with the NA reliability and ease.

Yea your right but there is always a right and a wrong way of doing things. Maybe doing a reliable 450 hp turbo build won't be so bad. I rather NA tho

Reliable lol... Maybe if you have an HR. But the rods in the DE are like toothpicks, and the bearings are tighter than... well never mind.

If you want a reliable stock block FI, I'd say buy a vortech. Lower torque levels and more gradual power band will help that engine live a long life. And then you can keep your lth.

yep. definitely the best combo. had one of those myself, easy to install, easiest to work on, still makes decent power, you can have a car that sounds badass. kinda gives you the best of both worlds. i miss mine

very nice. i think you will be pleased with your purchase. you should ask the guys at whichever shop you choose to do the install, to let you know how they got them in. curious to see if they are going to pull the motor like i did.

Well I will be there watching them the entire time since its 120 mile commute. I think they will take out the motor because its 370z headers going in my hr nd will be a tight fit. Will ask him to touch up my tune also.

very nice. but expect to be sitting there for a while. i have taken many a z motor out and it took me and 3 experienced vq guys 6-7 hours to do the install. and on the tune side, dont worry about that, your ecu is a self learning ecu, it should automatically make changes to your tune to account for the improved flow. if youre not convinced, read some of the osiris stuff on the forum. very cool ecu, only gets better with the newer years.

Yea I know the edu adapts well to bolt ons but I will be switching from 3inch maf back to 2.5. Going from 3 inch requires a tune for the car to run correctly. lol yea but it will be worth the wait, plus I enjoy being around cars all day so I dont mind.

Ah OK yes that would make sense if you're changing maf's. You can absolutely NOT do that without a retune. Out of curiousity, why are.you changing mafs? The stock maf has pretty good flow and can measure accurately up to 8-9psi if you're boosted.

Do you need to extend the o2 sensor wires for these headers?

sorry it took so long to respond, no you do not need to extend the wires. you could do it to make things easier on yourself but they do reach as is.
