there's a chance i will switch my car to use individual pop-up motors out of a 240SX, to gain space where the headlight bar goes.

if that goes through i will of course share it with the 944 collective.

I ran the Renegade Hybrids headers with my old car. They made excellent power with a dual 2.5" exhaust system. 461RWHP & 400RWTQ out of a LS6 on 91 pump gas.

Since you are taking the "high road" just curious how your progress is coming since you discuss it often. Certainly this must be done? Curious to see some pics.

Tony... do dual 2.5" exhausts fit inside the stock exhaust tunnel? Or is cutting required?

Yes they fit without cutting sheetmetal. It's a little tight necking down from the 3" collector to 2.5" and immediately making the turn to horizontal, but after that rest is easy.

I've got dual 2.5" exhaust as well, no issues. I'm currently using the Kooks headers, they're stunning and fit great.

Anyone running the Race Technologies Dash 2

Am I right in thinking it will connect directly into the GM LS3 EM?

I really like the looks of this unit as its street legal as well as being a great track tool, also seems like a good price... thoughts/feedback?

Yah Doc I hear ya... I like the look of the Kooks to. Gonna see how happy I am with the headers from TPC as they come with the kit I just bought but I may change over the the Kooks if I am not happy. Are you guys running V-Band or just bolt flanges? Seems such a simple set up after all these years of looking at the 951 set up lol.
