Everyone is to down to earth over here.
Had josh wire up my afterburners and other electrical and did a killer job!
Coming back to get my car wrapped and new zl1 bumper installed.

I have heard a lot of good things about that shop. Love my Kooks and Tune. Cam will be next for me too, but probably going to be a little while.

What else do you have besides the kooks. I really need to buy an exhaust. I made a mistake with going without cats and no exhaust ( slp loud mouth ). It's too damn loud it's going to get annoying! To add. Kooks told me I'd be fine without a tune for even 5-6 months? Althought I am going to tune it...

I have the kooks high flow cats and Ark NT II stainles Steel cat back exhaust. Cai brand Cold air intake, ported throttle body.
The Ark cat back was quiet, but throaty when you get on it by itself.
Now with LT's, its has a great rumble at cold start, mellow when RMPS are under 2k-2500 RMPS, but when you lay into the throttle it really comes alive.
I am really happy with my set up.

That sounds good. High flow cats here I come ( hate the smell ) and defy going to need an exhaust... Maybe magnaflow?
It honestly sounds like a NASCAR ...

I think John (Buffinshine) has Magnaflows with LT's and a few other members run them. Should be good. Just depends how loud you want it.
Nascar sounding is Way too loud.

you will be fine dont know what cats you orderd, if you got green cats you wont even have a cell. if you road course or do a lot of wide open throttle for long periods of time you could burn your valves...dont ask me how i know. i didnt care because i was replacing everything in the heads after the port polish and mill.

Your saying you burnt your valves from having or not having cats? Cause currently I do not have cats.....
