The downtime would be minimized to a matter of hours, if that. Same day swap type deal.
jason smith is a local in wa that made alot of stuff for the redline and started making for the cobalt (i have his 1 cobalt strut bar) and when he moved on to another car and his busines of truck bed building got better he stopped making the cobalt and ion stuff...so kinda custom kinda not lol

that would be interesting..but i think we are talking decimal places lol




and i am REALLY interested to see what the JBP throws out...they have a habit of not telling the truth lately..so we shall see lol


im betting clear image header will show a good amount of gain if not the most, alot of r&d went into their stuff and it works GREAT

maybe decimals, maybe not. I know my car feels stronger with the stocker than with the c-a v2 header i had. I was surprised. I have no explanation.

you'd be surprised how strong the car feels with it on right now. If there is more to free up as far as flow, then I'll be ecstatic. My car's acceleration is crazy now as it is.

Thanks for bringing that up.
A smart guy once told me an easy way to measure runner length using water.

Block off the head flange of the header and pure water into the collector making sure to measure the amount of water being poured and make sure you only pure water in one runner. Keep track of the amount of water poured into each runner. Then using the diameter of the runner you should be able to figure out the length by the amount of water in each runner.

If anything it will give you a real quick way of determining if the runners are equal length.

I can almost guarentee my buddy would let you use his pacesetter header and custom D/P if he could borrow your JBP and D/P combo. He wants JBP so bad and it might just motivate him to get it.

sounds pretty easy. i guess the only header that would pose a problem with that would be the jbp header, since at some point the water wouldn't be able to completely fill the runner with those crazy bends. But with some patience, I think even with that it could be done.

I am trying to clear the air, so people can understand the strengths of what the vendors have offered to us. I would also like to get them involved in this, but I don't know whether that'll happen or not.

not sure.

it would be cool to see the whole community involved in this. I'm not going to lie, i'm awaiting results from the JBP personally, simply because it looks so awesome back there next to the firewall.

I had it on but I've never seen it in person. After the dyno is done on the stock one, the jbp will be swapped in next. I'll drive it for a week, get info and then dyno it that saturday.
