    Should I switch my order to offroad headers rather than the ones with all the EGR shit??
    Yea if you're not using the EGR then I would recommend something w/out them. I got 'em on mine and are not in use and last summer I it blew right off. Nice 2-3" hole in my header.

    What's the name of this "Dr. Phils" shop? I've been looking for a good LSx shop. I found one down by Fort Wayne, IN, Exotic Performance Plus, but I don't know anything about them.

      All right, if it doesn't work then I'll be okay but I'm working on switching my stall to 3500 rather than 3000. And I'm trying to switch my headers to not having the emissions crap. We'll see if they can still switch it.

        yea thats the way to go. Car should run good with headers and the stall. I dont know what all you ordered, but a cutout might be a good idea as well. Cheap and will free up some ponies depending on your catback.

          that and it's way to much fun to open it after sitting at a red light for like 15 seconds. you get a lot of looks. haha

          oh and make sure you get an electric one. only way to go.

            Mind helping throw on the intake too?? Hopefully all the parts will be in within two weeks and then we can do this
            The intake is a piece of cake, Well unless your name is Jonny than it takes you like 6 hours

                  Dr Phil is a guy that used to be a very well respected GM mechanic and then he quit to persue his own business. He works out of his 2 1/2 car garage with a full lift ect. and does a lot of cars. His tune in comparison to my old tune was an unbelieveable difference.

                    What's he charge for the tune?? I'm trying to align everything right now. I guess there is someone up my way that can dyno tune the car for $300 which isn't too bad at all. So I think that's the last thing I'm trying to narrow it down between right now is who to get the car tuned by and have install the tranny cooler and stall kit.

                      well the tuning I'd assume would be around $250 as Mike said he charges by how much time it takes him and honestly thats not much for a bolt-on car. He charged me $300 for a complete tune, injector and thermostat install. But if he installs the converter as well I would add another $250-300 for that.

                        Is there anyway I could get a hold of him? I have been looking for someone to install my Trans Cooler, Yank SS3600, and give me a dyno tune for some time now....Please help me out!

                          It's cool...

                          We could bring the cars in on the same day

                          Sounds like we're doing almost the same thing.
