how much will you sell the flanges for? also can you do a write up after you are done the install. this would really help out the v6 community. all i need is a list of part#'s and some specs. i can handle the rest97 CAMARO RS<br />12.9@103mph<br />best 60ft..1.9 ( on street tires)<br /> 1.7 (on gas)<br />turbo supra 12.5@119mph (street tires)<br />new times to come sporting the sp63gt

Hey all, I will post dyno runs before and after, and will take it to the track shortly after the install. I am looking to run about 6 to 7 PSI, which should put me at between 300 and 340 horse at the crank. Estimates are cloudy because each PSI of boost varies in HP gains. I am not too sure of how its going to perform at the track, I think I am going to run into traction problems. I already spin pretty badly, but we will see how it performs. I am selling the set of flanges for $240 plus shipping. These are very expensive to manufacture. They are made of steel for easy welding, and are 1/2" thick. This is my last set, but can have more made, it may be more, but the price will vary wil the number I order. The more that is ordered the chaeper it is. Keep posting if you want more info.

Good Luck w/ it!! [img]smile.gif[/img] Just be careful cause i know that a big turbo and you might blow you engine.Since you dont have the internals(well that i know of).after everything goes right then put the L67 internals in the car and then crank up the boost [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]2000 Black T/A M6 343rwhp 349rwtq<br />11.94 @ 118 60\'1.79 Stock Internal<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/demonicbird00\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/id/demonicbird00</a> <br />AIM: W68Firebird97<br />R.I.P...

I have spoke to my mechanic and he said he would like those flanges to make a custom passenger side header. He says we will be using the RKSPORT header on the driver side but the passenger we will need the flange to make custom. I dont know what he has in mind but I trust him.
We are thinking T4 Intercooled.

Formulao96, what you've done with your '96 is exactly what I want for mine!!! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Anyway you can hook a brother up? ;) no rush, but whenever you see a good time for it. I love the 95-97 firebird, and as much as I love LS1 I still want to go with my '96.
