There is a difference between intellectual property and helpful info. Posting the blueprints would be giving awat too much. There are a few people here that have made real good gains, and a few that claim to have, and a few of them won't share their secrets. When someone has a design they want to protect, I can understand. But when someone has a method or procedure they wont give away, because they want to have a "secret", I think it nulls the point of being here on this forum. And I definitely am not talking about DV8, I really can't put a finger on anything in particular about him. However, I do know some other members that make claims about something great, and keep it "secret".
 
Heads: Competition Valve Job, Gasket Matched, Polished and Ported

Ross Forged Race Pistons: 11 to 1 compression

Intake opened up and gasket matched

Dynoed Remanufactured Injectors

wouldnt all these things significantly change the dyno numbers? how are you going to know the specific gains from just the headers and down pipe?

I also think that it is great that you are sharing information as opposed to DV8 who is protecting his 'designs'.
He spent the cash and time on RD and has the right to protect until he gets his cash back.

very nice. you have done what i would have liked to do...DO SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE SAID WAS NOT POSSIBLE!!!

No one said it was impossible. I think others said it would be nearly impossible to get long tube headers on the car without either removing the heads or removing the engine to get them on. In this case, the engine was removed from the car.

Good work by the way. Too bad I'm selling my Legend. It would have been nice to have some headers.

You're letting go of the 6-speed? legend 2 of 2? Didn't you already get rid of one? now the 2nd? :(

Am I close, ChisK?
You are way off. I'm actually thinking of the
New Sportscar Experimental ;)

But seriously, I'm running into problems with the free cash I had saved up and I might not be able to use it right away as I had planned, to even though I'm selling the Legend I might have to wait a little longer than my Feb. Date. Oh well, life always throws a wrench in your plans I guess:(
 
To Schuttrp or anyone that has this info....
How much for the set of headers? Just headers, no package or anything like that. I would love to wait for DV8's full setup to come out, but I have the cash now and i'm just too damn impatient.
I talked with a race car chassis machinist today and he looked at my Legend, smiled and told me that it would take a lot of work but that he would do it. I haven't got any price figures from him yet, but i'm supposed to go in on Monday so he can get a better look at what'll need to be done. He's a friend of a friend, so i'm sure i'll be able to get them for a real decent price. But the most important thing is to suppport fellow Legend enthusiasts, and if I can get them through one of you guys, that would be the best. So if I can get some prices PM'd to me or posted or whatever, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Kasteman

was your grille crome then u painted it body color??? cause i know thats not the "gs" type grille thats recessed , i wanted to get one like yours i hate how my Gs grille is recessed.
ya kno what, i think that it was painted by the guy who owned the car before me. I was wondering why the paint was slowly chipping away and it looks like a nice chrome underneath. It makes sense, but I believe my car is an LS. At this point i have to re-paint it with good old duplicolor #5324.
 
I'm ready to buy a set of these headers, keep me posted.
