Yeah, it was pretty wierd. I was fine as could be then all of a sudden he wasn't. Essentially if I didn't put him to sleep he would of died within a couple days. He was pumped with morphin lastnight, the vet poked him with a needle lastnight and he just gushed light red ooze all over. He was soo swollen, poor guy. Buried him in the back yard today then I had to explain to Addie what happened to him, that sucked. Such is life, he lived one hell of a life and I've experienced a lot with that dude.

On a lighter side note, after I install these headers I'm never doing them again without a freaking lift.
John, I decided last minute yesterday to install them. I was planning on writing a 10 page paper and thought it was going to take me all day. Somehow it only took me about 2 hours write but it took Kristen 2 hours to proof read...

I still don't have all my parts here so I'm waiting on my Steeda Camber plates, Magnaflow catback and whiteline LCA and Relo brackets. Jeff should be getting his relo brackets this week, hopefully. Jeff did you get the LCA's? I can't wait to get everything, I'm excited to see how the car will sound with the new exhaust. I usually replace exhaust parts here and there but never a whole system at once.

Glad you got your paper done. I'm interested to hear what you have to say about your car after the new suspension is complete. I'm hoping it was your suspension set-up that made the 3.73's to seem so crazy. I'm looking at doing a gear install here in the near future at Pro-Dyno. Waiting to hear from Dan. Along with that getting Relo brackets welded and UCA installed. I figure while the car is on a lift I might as well get it all done. If I had the money I would do LT's, but I would have to wait another month or so, so I'll just go with what I got.

The LT's better be worth it. I'll work on the passenger side tomorrow or Thursday. This is considered my "research and writing" week. I still have 3 papers to write this week but they're not too bad.

No LCA's yesterday. Maybe they will show up today. I might wait for the brackets to get here before I mess with them.

I am sorry about Bailey. Was that the Great Dane?

I left the studs in the driver's side, but you have to remove them for the passenger side unless your dropping the entire engine. IDK what you're talking about, jackstands were fine! eye twitches I got it all done in 18 hours, drove the car and it was awesome. However bama didnt update my tune correctly, so last night I got the CEL (they actually didnt update it at all). So knowing that I picked up power from the seat of my pants without taking advantage of any tuning parameters is exciting.

Why did you take the studs out? SW gives header bolts for the block. I think those instructions were created before they supplied the bolts. I'm using the supplied bolts, if they don't work I'll use the studs.

I got my Bling today... LCA's. Was it ironic or intentional that you sent them in an MBRP box ?
LOL.

Thanks Jason.

Right on.

As for me, I've called back and emailed Pro-Dyno. Nothing yet.

try Dan's email dandesio@pro-dyno.net

and I think that the phone number on their site goes to his cellphone.
