ok so update to the plan a bit. im sure it will change 1000 times before its done.

the turbo will be the last step... but since im gonna rebuild a LQ1 anyway i am gonna track down some total seal rings for her. and spend time porting the heads. im gonna try and tap as much power NA out of her as i can. I figure with what i already have and what i plan, 275hp at the motor is very likely.

without headers designed for NA it will be impossible to hit 300 hp... but im looking into a design that i can make and easily convert to turbo later....

The collector on them is too big. 3" !! Would be ok if I were going nos but for sub 300 hp NA 3" is too much will loose too much tq. 3" is good for a turbo but no point buying these to cut them up for turbo manifolds.

Besides I have my own design ideas...
