Default Got my Pacesetters On..

Damn I'm stupid..i should have put these on a long time ago.. the very back bolt on the drivers side was broke off about 2 threads into head and i couldnt get a 90 degree drill into it so i said screw it and put alot of rtv silicone on it and it dont leak..I can really tell a difference at the higher rpms, it pulls great..i was side by side with a ws6 trans am through first gear until i hit the nitrous in 2nd i put 2 car lengths on him to 100

You might have to pull the head, but still you don't want to leave it like that forever cause eventually the header flange is goiong to warp and start leaking.
