Pros
Installation was a quick process; the header dropped in from the top of the engine compartment easily with no clearance problems.


Cons
We weren't able to re-attach the oxygen sensor wire bracket due to the O2 bung's position farther down than the stock header's location. Lowered cars beware!

Install time: 2 hours

Peak TQ 149.6


Dyno Notes
The factory belts were badly worn and loose on the car, and we believe this could have accounted for a loss in friction between them and the factory pulleys. With the new belts strung on the UR pulleys, the friction was increased and a more accurate power reading was made possible. We believe the pulleys could have made more power if the belts were not loose to start with

2000 to 3500 HP: 0 to 4 2000 to 3500 TQ: 1 to 7 lb-ft

Pros
These lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum pulleys can provide serious weight savings. The UR crank pulley weighed in at 1 lb, while the OEM crank weighs 6 lb.


Cons
No pulley belts included!
