I would however love to see someone make a set of hotter cams and either a reflash to retime the valve timing, or a v-manage setup with a decent starting point for the hotter cams. Would be MUCH more worth the money to me.

But who knows, maybe someday I'll change my mind. For now, I'm keeping F/I out of my mind.

Whats up sibble. Let me know what your 07 Z dyno'd at before and after the stillen header install. That's if you're still going to do that. I bought the stillen headers for my 07 Z but i'm thinking about sending them back if they're not HR specific headers or depending on what your dyno results are or anyone elses for that matter.

That said - I figure if I have the money I'll be turboed within the next 18 months (whether in the Z or not
)

Can we get some detailed pics of the new headers?
Ok cause noone is posting up before and after dynos or reviews of theses headers i took the plunge and bought teh 304 SS version today. I will be getting my new exhaust put on next saturday and will get a dyno right after at technosquare. Then i will have these installed and dynoe'd by the saturday after that. Can't wait for the results

THANK YOU!......I was so close to doing it but on a tight budget let us know ASAP
- but there is no turbo for HR motor yet. :P

We'll see how the results go. I've decided to just keep my exhaust till turbos come out for the 07 so people will be interested in my exhaust rather than go for a low ball offer. What that means is I will probably have the dynos in by next monday or the monday after at the latest since i dont' have to do a dyno with new exhaust first, then get headers put in then get another dyno
EDIT: Dynos in in about 2-3 weeks now because of Fast Intentions busy schedule to install them along with some financial issues.(Sorry for the bad pick, IPHONE)
