Well I started at at 9 am this morning and just got done lol. What a long day! Anyway took the intake off and the driver side cylinder head just to drill and tap the rear exhaust header bolt. Almost don't seem worth it lol but it needed it bad. New head gasket arp bolts and intake gaskets. Torqued everything down to specs and cranked the key my baby fired right up thank got I never been so nervous in my life lol. Anyway thanks to all you guys for all the info regarding this process. Thanks again guys!

Does it have a electric fan conversion? What stat did he put in the stock or a lower temp? The stat could be bad, or low on coolant.

That's ok the messages just overlapped. Thanks for all your help I think that should do it. I appreciate the picture on the intake

Ok great thanks and I actually ordered all arp bolts. So I just have to torque them and be done. Thanks for checking

Great thanks man. I just ordered a head gasket from koons chevy and head bolts from jegs. I also got a set of intake bolts Also. You wouldn't happen to know the specs on the head bolts and the intake bolts do you? Torque specs that is?

Long story short the rear exhaust header bolt snapped off and now it's leaking. It's the driver side and there's absolutely no room to get a 90 degree drill in there and drill it out and tap it. So I'm going to have to remove the head just to drill this damn hole out and tap it. I'm confident I can do this my only concern is how do you adjust non adjustable rocker arms? Do I just take all the rocker arms off and put them back in the exact same spot and torgue them down? I did find a search that said are head bolts are non reusable? So I'm going to order a new head gasket and new header bolts now. Any help on how to do this gasket replacement would be great. Thanks

I was wanting to get into this and learn how to tune. So I went ahead and bought the pro version of hp tuners. I haven't recieved it yet but I've reading lots of stuff. From what I'm getting out I this the new program comes with 8 credits. You have to have credits to tune a vehicle. It takes like10 credits to unlock all the parameters in the tune? And 1 credit cost like 35 bucks? That's the craziest thing I ever heard lol. Am I missing something here?

Lol very true sorry. But was flying through a intersection didn't want to wreck. I'm sure he's a member on the site

Was working up in Lancaster pa today and see. This bad ass looking SSS with ghost flames coming up the hood. Super clean!!

They do charge some coin thats for sure but it wil be nice when its done. This guy is good but he's just always grumpy lol. I'm getting everything in stainless steel an he's only charging me 700 for everything. Witch I thought wasn't to bad.

Jeeze! I just dropped my truck off to have them connect to the headers and run the exhaust to cats and a x pipe. I get there and the guy pulls it right in the shop and puts it in the air. I never heard anyone complain as much as this guy did. Hes f bombing all over the place. How am I f ing going to fit all these pipes in there with a x pipe bla bla bla. I'm like dude ur the exhaust guy you told me you could do it lol. Anyway what a nightmare!

I gotcha. That's awesome I didn't know that. But yes I do have a wide band already hooked up. I have no clue how to do it but I will defy keep you in mind when I receive everything. Thanks man

Yea thanks man. I haven't did a single thing at work today I been reading all morning lol

Wahhhhhhhhhh who I just ordered the hp tuners professional. Although I have no freaking clue what I'm Doing I plan on trying my best to learn it. I'm very excited so well see.

I loved the headers they seem just as good as any other header and fit just right

The install went good. Wasn't bad at all

I installed my long tube headers this weekend so I won't be needing the stock manifolds anymore. Not sure if anyone can use them otherwise I'm just going to throw them away you can have them just cover the shipping cost. Anyone interested? It's just both manifolds with the flanges. If you need pics just PM me your email and ill send them to you.

I sure did thanks to u lol. You pumped me up about zippy. I called him last week and gave him all my mods and he's shipping me a tuned computer.

If it throws some codes can it be fixed by tweaking the tune? Or just something you have to deal with??

I'm currently in the process of installing my whipple charger. Is it normal after you install a supercharger or any other mod like a cam or any other major performance part for the check engine light to be on even after a tune? Seems like every time someone post pics up on here there check engine light is on. That would drive me crazy! Just curious??

Thanks. I'm going with magna flow mufflers with magna flow high flow cats and a x pipe. Dropping truck off Monday to have all the exhaust done. Can't wait lol

Thanks man

Well there it is guys. Part numbers don't mean anything lol. They both went right in. The passenger side was a little tricky but both in and good to go. Now I can drop my truck off on Monday to have my custom exhaust and then the whipple install next weekend
