    408 Need Long tube header, 3 inch exhaust help

    Which LT's did you have? I was wondering if there would be any gain putting on a 3 inch cat back instead of the 2.5. I am glad that you dynoed it, and now I am rethinking the 3' cat back. I think it is still beneficial to do a 3' mid pipe, dont you?

    Disapointed with my dyno #'s should I be?

    I bought the longblock used. It did come out of a running car, although I am not sure how much hp it made. I did a compression test before the motor was installed. The codes I have pulled all have to do with the smog pump, and the tab sensors etc. The car has trouble idleing when it is cold...

    Disapointed with my dyno #'s should I be?

    Ok I guess my question is what could be wrong? Could the car be crazy rich, but would that rob that much hp? The guy at the shop told me that if the cam was not put in right that could be why the car wants so much timing. 17 degrees is alot. What else should I look for?
