Borla = crap. Everything else "A" OK.
2 things to keep in mind with a header swap. With after market headers I reccomend some kind of heat shield for the fuel line. I was dangerously close witht The top Speeds. We made a lil heat shield. All good. Also, I don't know if you guys are going to put the headers on yourselves. On a scale of 1-10 it was a b!t&h. I just stood and watched as Floyd (Nissan Tech) did it. All I did was hand him tools. I just know it was a PIA cause he kept throwing **** saying never again. hahaha.

I definitely felt a gain, the midrange power is really noticeable and plus... nitrous is supposed to get better gains with headers from what I've heard.
Cams are too baller for me at the moment lol

Also Chris told me that he paid about $200 for his Topspeed headers. I just got a quote for Strup headers at $450 shipped.

Well, I was going to do a cam swap when I had it but Floyd threatened me with violence. He said it would be that much of a PIA. Anytime he says that, that measn he's about to charge me an arm and a leg for labor. So, I just dismissed it for the moment. With all the stuff he's doing on the Z32 I am sure he wishes he would have taken the cam swap.
Thinking back it was around 200 for the headers.
