What's your ultimate goal?

I'd recommend Pace Setter ceramic coated headers and a 3" Y or X pipe for now. They are cheap but get the job done.

**dkunreal911** · 09-19-2009, 09:27 AM

to get a good intake and exhaust flow so when i bore it i can just sit it and have about 500 horse power. gonna do a 408 might do 427 just dependS.

In that case, I'd recommend....perhaps, American Racing Headers or some Texas Speed headers. With that much HP, you should be able to find those brands in 1 7/8". I think some even make 2" headers.

Up to you and your budget. If you are on a budget, the Pace Setters are pretty dang cheap.

cheap to expensive
ebay option racing headers
pacesetter
hooker
kooks
qtp
etc.

If you go duals and plan to go over the axle the biggest that will fit is 2.5" you can go under I would just say to either end at the axle or make sure you can unbolt it if you decide to switch out springs etc. If you went duals.

i was just thinking about cutting it off so i can go biggeR. but i think 3 inch might be a little big. im just lookin for best flow. i can get all motor work port polished bores all done for free. and i got a sponsor so i get discounted on parts to.

**KMdef9** · 09-19-2009, 04:51 PM

I'd search threads. They have one for everything here.

Your talking to a guy with 3" exhaust it works just fine although for clearance you might step down to 2.5"
Sponsor for what?

**dkunreal911** · 09-19-2009, 07:18 PM

Okay maybe I need to be more clear what are you sponsored for, why you, what do you do for the sponsorship, auto x, road race, drift? Call me slow but I had a hunch the sponsorship wasn't for jc penny's.

**dkunreal911** · 09-20-2009, 05:50 AM

its called uth performance. do drag racing but for most part street racing. and is their a difference between a Ricer and just a fast ass import. because i owned a twin turbo 300zx that had 500 horse power. but sold it to get this car.

**c5z28** · 09-20-2009, 09:17 AM

nothing wrong with a clean 300zx i'll let the poster explain

**dkunreal911** · 09-20-2009, 10:33 AM

lol true that. but what should i go the 408 or the 427

**dkunreal911** · 09-20-2009, 10:38 AM

also what's the deal with mass air flow sensors i hear lots of talk how they are bad. but it was just about the after market ones. are they good or bad

**BIG GUNS** · 09-20-2009, 05:54 PM

Just get some MAF cleaner and clean your MAF. Anyone on here will tell you to stick with your stock MAF and just clean it.

After market MAFs are over rated and a lot of headache when they don't go so well.

You need to look into the possibilities with the stock cubes. People have gotten 500rwhp with 346ci. So many possibilities.

I

changed my MAF and had no problems, thankfully. I just wish I had spent the money somewhere else on the car. Aftermarket MAFs don't do anything for a basic bolt on car.

Man who cares about the trash talkers. When you start going one up on everyone and vice versa, you're not getting anywhere cuz there will always be someone that can beat you. It turns into a money game, whoever's got the most money will come out with the most modded fastest car. The LS1 cars just happen to be some of the fastest stock cars ever made. The only time people feel like their car is not good enough is when they hang out with people with similar stuff. You should mod your car only if it's going to satisfy you, not to prove a point. Maybe just my take, but that's how I think.
