Got my TT headers from Nelson Racing Engines. They are 321 stainless and the flanges and mounts are a half inch thick. They are silcon bronze welded and TIG'd on the outside AND inside. They have 25 degree merge collectors and 1 3/4 primary tubes and are dead sexy.

Are you tuning yourself?? You should easily make close to 1200 hp on 93 octane. That motor will handle a good 18 psi or so on pump gas. The power might not come on untill the higher rpm though due to the huge .96 AR housings.
If you ever have any tuning questions, I would love to help offer advice to turn that thing into a serious dyno queen!!


Those headers look sweet!!

Oh man those look nice. Those looks like they would allow an AC compressor without any problems. I live down in South GA so I will need tomake sure I have AC if I want to enjoy my car. LOL

Does this mean you can make another set too ? Amazing work Tom!!!!

Do you have fixtures to make headers like these for an LSX based engine? I would guess these would cost upwards of $2000 or so right?

They almost cost that in material! 321 is NOT CHEAP. I speak this from experience. :faint:

I have about $1400 in 321 material in my LSX headers, and that was making double slip fit collectors myself! :willy:

Heres a shot of some of my universal headers for a lsx based engines I sell these headers for 3200.00 and the the 69's above for 3800.00 the lsx's pictured come with down pipes for the turbo and wastegate attachment.

Looks killer Scott, why did you go with these vs the banks manifolds? Tom, you guys do great work! :hail:

Will the LSX headers clear an AC unit?

Oh my aching ass are those headers beautiful!! Almost like they should be put up on the wall in my office. Very nice, an absolute work of art. :hail:

Tom, those pieces would look right at home at a F1 grandprix garage!

Scott, everytime you pop the hood, people will drool so make sure to have plenty of bibs handy. :yes: Hell, I have my 2 year old's bib on right now!

Thanks guys, they are truly works of art.

Here's a pic I took yesterday afternoon. I decided it should make an appearance at the local cruise-in.

That's awesome Scott... I know your 'half-completed' car got more looks than probably most of the rides there! :lol:

Thinking about doing one for mine

Those Are Really Nice,high Quality Pieces..car Is Definately A Bad Boy..how Close Is The Master Cylinder To The Pipes??????
XcYZ
08-31-2006, 06:35 AM
It's close, but it clears. The MC will have to be run at the manual brake angle.

The headers look killer, but are you trying to make it harder on Tom Sullivan who is doing the CGI rendering of your car??? :lol:

They are a really nice addition.

That is some nice work, I hope some attention goes into the heat factor on the P/S pump and hydroboost and master cylinder on the completed project, It could get scary.......

I second that.

Also where is the flange for the wastegates going to go?
XcYZ
09-11-2006, 10:39 AM
The wastegate flanges haven't been placed yet, I haven't decided where I want them.
