Ported manifold install results

[Batman]

Went to PA this weekend and we did a 12 hour thrash on the car to swap K-members, motor mounts, the clutch, the exhaust and put in a blow proof bellhousing (which was a PITA for anyone who cares). Apart from accidentally setting the car on fire momentarily (special thanks to my friend Glenn) everything went great. Car runs and sounds awesome, very deep exhaust sound and much much quieter then the longtubes. Still pulls hard although I behaved for the most part till I get the clutch broken in. I will dyno it to see what the numbers are after the clutch break in and let you know but it certainly doesn't feel any different then the longtubes did.

what manifold did you use? A ported ls6? type of exhaust? Glad things worked out and you still have your car (and the garage owner still has it standing)

Lookin good Nick!!! any better or worse road noise with the K=Member? can you tell its there at all? and why did you line it up if your gunna get new lowers and have to align it again? didnt want to cook your front tires if it was that far off?

Can't even tell the K-member is there. I could care less about the tires but it was so far off you could barely drive it, sears was only 2 miles away so we didn't even reall try to get em that straight, just got it aligned. I also probably won't bother to do the control arms (if they ever show up) until I do shocks and springs later in the year or over next winter.
