Vortec 8.1 Performace Help
#11
Chris,
I looked at Summit Racing and Jegs for the headers (and JBA's website) everything that I saw were shorties that didn't come with the o2 provision. I really like the idea of already having the o2 bungs attached. Any suggestions on where to look for the mid length headers besides summit and jegs?
Thanks,
Sean

I have also looked up the cam that Chris recommended. Since my torque converter locks up at 900, I think the lower, mid range cam would work best for me. Would you recommend getting a SK kit with new lifters or just the cam and re-use the original lifters. I know that on older, flat tappet engines, you would replace the lifters with the cam. But with a roller cam, do you follow the same protocol?

one more stupid question. Will ANY BB chevy/gmc header work with this engine? I can tell you plenty about Jeep engines but I don't know squat about Chevy, let alone gen VII Chevy engines. Thanks for ya'lls patience.
