you will need new ones depending on cam lobe length.

on my ls2 i went with longer pushrods and harder ones as well. although its recommended at times to get stock strength pushrods because its cheaper to replace bent pushrods than a piston with a valve stuck on it.

Thanks, I've put more work than I'd like to admit into that exhaust. I think it's been through 5 or 6 different permutations until I settled on liking this one.

Yea, at 130k she's still running with the factory original MAF. It's been going out for over a year (so it's not the K&N which I've only had ~5 months). Looks like it's time to spray some electrical cleaner on it again. Or replace it.

I'm actually suprised that my amigos weren't on. I've been dealing with them too. Actually, I haven't, I've been ignoring them.

I'm curious to see what your truck will be able to do when you're done, I hope to see an album of pictures along with some numbers. Right now mine will do 0-60 in about 9.5 seconds depending on conditions, and that's loaded down and on 30" tires instead of stock 29".

yes, I really wanted to do a supercharger....but, I have found a lot of info on those and opted out of the idea due to data of poor coverage and partial premature cylinder wear.


it would be nice


was it the optec one?

May sound dumb but have you emailed Janspeed directly?

I have the headmens but mine are on a RHD carb 110, so my experience would probably not be anything like yours

Those look nice, but Holy Jesus they're expensive.

A bung isn't that big if a deal. Any exhaust shop worth a dime can drill or cut a hole and weld one in.

Well so much for janspeed.... From them
"Hi there,
Many thanks for your email. Unfortunately this is not something we are able to do any more and sadly cannot assist further on this for you.

Regards
Ray"

So that leaves hedman and who else
