So I tried quality ac Delco rotors and pads. They made it a little over a year before getting warped.

This time im trying raybestos rotors and Bosch ceramic pads. I hope they last longer.

I want to do something fun, yet here I am doing boring work. Efans. The old ones were getting really loud. The bearings were sounding nasty. Better safe than sorry so I replaced em.

Super simple job.

I want a set of kooks catted long tube headers. They're $$ but I wont run into VA emissions issues with them.

I just bought a new TV so they might have to wait a while.

I'd like to hear about your experience with the LT headers if you opt to install them. I understand that your typical header setup on these engines is very effective but mostly at higher rpm?

I actually had LT headers installed for a while until emissions testing snagged me. I was running a non-standard single high flow cat and that wasnt enough.

To your question high RPM power was very evident. It was great. There might have been a loss down low due to the 1 7/8 larger primaries, but nothing too drastic. 1 3/4 primaries supposedly help with and low down loss. On the third hand it might have just been a case of so much better higher RPM power that lower down it felt like a loss by comparison.

I was running speed engineering headers. Well built but if you have bad engine mounts the drives O2 sensor will hit the body.

(for sale if someone wants em)
