@speed Engineering, are you going to offer just the headers?

I don't think so. We already offer our universal forward facing turbo headers. If anything we might just sell the complete hot side, but that's still undecided.

Thanks

By asking, i wasn't trying to knock the quality of the kit, just curious about the reason for the unfortunate delays.

I assume the battery relocation for the NBS system is the owner's responsibility.

Still waiting a response on our last part number to come in. Battery locations are not moved on either of our kits.

Thanks

I wonder if I can sell the Firebird, get a torque converter, driveshaft, a couple gauges, fuel system ( pumps, lines, regulator, injectors) and save up $4k between now and say June......

Question:
is the "4.8L stock internal cam only = 710rwhp on 18lbs" using the .68 or .85 exhaust housing?

Yes, it was the original completely stock engine minus cam and springs. When we did the 4.8L it was on the .65ar housings. However, we found out later that we were pushing the limit of the housings at those numbers.

Thanks
