I know at least on 3.4's and 3.8's headers make a world of a differrence in tone, and in 00-02 cars dont flow too much better than stock (until you get into heavy modifications) but sound a lot better

i agree, headers do make a major difference in the sound of the car, at least in my experience, both with my IROC and my brothers Bronco.

and link. i dont think there is anything wrong with your starter, it definatly sounds like your firing order is messed up. you would have had to remove the plug wires to do this job, if you didnt put them back correctly the firing order would be wrong. and it would do exactly what you are describing.

Ok, let me try and reword myself. With flow characteristics changed, the point of putting headers on, then yes flow is more is more direct instead of making all the little turns and trying to push it's way through like in a stock manifold. Thus doing so with a free(r) flow, tone will change a little bit. But I woudn't neccessarily say it would make the motor sound like a monster.

My point for saying so was to explore the possibilty that MAYBE the headers are sitting flush on the heads, thus exhaust was venting directly out of the head/header flange.

Sorry, just keepng open to possibilities.

Yeah, i'm a loser. I had the firing order all f***** up. They were all one step ahead of each other. Fired her up without the cat on and damn, sounded like i was at the drag strip for a moment. She's all set now, and wow, what a major difference performance. Smooth balanced idle now, very nice hum to it. No more exhuast leak, that shit stinks. I got all my torque back now, wow is all i can say.

Naw, the distributor is alright, never touched that. It's gotta be the starter, it was all cruddy and really old looking when i last looked at it, it was definitely on it last leg. I'll check the battery voltage aswell, the dash can be decieving sometime (gas anyway).

Double check your firing order again to make sure you didn't cross any wires.... also, make sure you haven't knocked loose any wires such as you "remote coil" wires and items like that. What plugs are you using and what did you gap them at? Glad to hear you got the headers on... also, I have some parts listed on ebay that you might be interested in (MSD Blaster coil, throttle body with air-foil) I'm going through the garage and getting rid of some of this crap. Drop me an email tomorrow, we'll get you car figured out. Guess I'll have to drive up to Mass. this weekend....LOL!!!!!!

Was this directed at my video comment? If so, I was talking about sending DVD video through the mail... I have some footage of local (Winchester, Va.) street races featuring my IROCs and some other fellas' LT1 Camaros and 5.0 and 4.6 Mustangs.

[89IROC&RS]

if you wanna email the vids to guys emails thats fine, but dont try selling DVD's on here.

[supercarvideos]

I'm not trying to sell DVDs..... I'm offering to send one through the mail as paypack for a banner. I sent LINK85 a video because he has a 5.0 IROC, and he seemed kinda down on his 305...so I wanted him to see footage of my 305 taking out an LT1, and show him that 305s are just as competitive.
