There is no doubt the best team won. The Canadians were favored from the get-go. It has been said that maybe only three members of the U.S. team could have even made the Canadian roster. What the USA lacked in talent and skill they largely made up for with heart and scrappy play. Both...

What a great Gold Medal game and tribute to the sport. Great to see Canada win in their national pastime at their host Olympics, and great to see the USA battle them so close, beating them in the first round and taking the final game to OT. You could not have asked for a better close to some...

Dang. Is he making that kinda power through cats, or is that an off-highway only package? I figure that's a runwhatchyabrung kinda race for daily drivers... I keep telling my buddy with a Prius that I will run him with my pushmower. Of course the problem with the Toyautos anymore ain't...

Again, I am a big supporter of what you are attempting. I would argue though that if you are going to go with new valves anyway, a size larger on the intake and exhaust wouldn't be a huge incremental cost. I say get what you can out of the stock heads while you have 'em off. Almost like...

To get to the stated power goals I would think bigger valves may at least need to be an option. I think Tim's heads from PBJ had them.

Thanks, Ron. I stand corrected. Had it in my head that the heads alone were $7K plus. :stupido2: Maybe just a rich quote from one of your competitors. ;)

Mr. Stinker: please keep us posted on your progress and results. I have been interested in a reasonably (whatever that is in Viperworld) priced integrated heads/cam/intake/TB package for a long time, and I am sure others are too. I know that excepting maybe the factory Gen IV castings (with...

That's awesome if the kit comes in for about $5K. J.M. Strikers with rockers, spacers and everything else you need are close to $10K. The savings would leave a lot of room to doctor some exhaust headers to fit. :)

I used to have Boomer's flash and was happy with it except for the fan temps. He told me you couldn't lower them much because it would put to much strain on the stock hydrostatic/power steering system. After I went with my headers I got even more concerned about underhood temps and bought a...

Ronnie: good stuff. Get 'er to the track as soon as the weather (and your tranny rebuild) permit! All the best.

Thanks, Dan. Always good to hear from you.

Niz: no flames intended. Thanks for making us aware of a new product. :burnout:

Nonetheless it's interesting to see a new long tube header offered for our trucks. I didn't expect much aftermarket support any more for a low volume, discontinued vehicle. I agree though that if they want a test mule 300 bux isn't much of a discount.

Biily Boat and Borla both make systems with the '06 hanger setup if you want to DIY. It's a good idea to get the connections welded anwyay. :)
