Thumbs up Horsepower in a box

I think next to sex, coming home to a box full of parts for my car is a good feeling. Especially when the parts make the ride giddy up and go. Road Race was ever so kind to let me take part in having their Pulley and Headers, anybody got any feedback on these two Items so I know what i have in store for myself?

The pully makes a difference. Not a big one but you'll like it. Put on the pully first then drive. Later put on the header. You'll notice the pully...

Expect a loss in the low end with the headers, but good mid and top end. Third and fourth pulls will feel better.

Be sure to put the CEL in the 2nd cat! Don't be like me... The header pulls better in 3rd & 4th gears.

alright this bolt is a *****



other than that, the job went well. Im not a huge fan of the exhaust note now, but the idle sounds great.

On a side note I finished my fiberglass work for my screen in my glovebox, whatcha think?

Nice work on the screen. Be sure to put new belts on when you put on your pulley. It's just a good idea.
