I have a bad feeling the LTH's will not help SC'd guys until VVEL is cracked, it just flows to damn well.

Last I checked a 350z on a road circuit will more than handle a Cobra. Based on your posts you have a history with built Stangs, as do I. I'm telling you for a fact, even with the IRS brace, the Cobra is only good for straight lines. Hell almost all Mustangs are until the new 5.0 which is in a category of its own.

You can point away the money argument all you want, its irrelevant, I could get a CRX throw in a built spoon engine run a 200 shot and blow a Cobra's doors off at far less than $17k. A turbo charged z34 or s/c z34 will take a Cobra even a whippled one in a straight light however throw a turn in there and a small margin of victory on a drag strip will turn into bus lengths on a road course. The Cobra is nose heavy, the suspension is crap why do you think the IRS never carried over and if your friend financed all or part of the $17k it means in the long run he pays more than $17k and got ripped off, end of story. Now stop making me trash the Cobra bc I love that car more than any mustang to ever see the road during my lifetime, I'm just not delusional.

Do people really think Sam will modify the kit to fit LTH?

I think the LTH's will need to be modified, either way in the long term you're asking for it if you continue to run stock cats. I'll wait on going f.i. until everything is said and done, problem is I'll be waiting for a while.

ya i believe the headers need to be modified. The question who is going to modify it?

NYBladeZ · 09-13-2011, 04:39 PM

Yeah I know he is, but I don't think he's making any real gains with them. Hopefully sam will shed some light. Initially sam said that LTH's wont work unless modified to fit the Stage 2.

Okay how come this thread went from Sc press release to Cobra vs 370Z?

I know sorry.. Great work Sam looks great, I'm just not a fan of the tq numbers and I'm set on STs system but if I was going this route I would be ecstatic about this kit

NYBladeZ · 09-13-2011, 04:54 PM

Me too, I'm going to start banging and yelling "We need a VVEL Crack." Its the final piece of the puzzle.

blackonorange · 09-13-2011, 04:56 PM

Is that the reason for the lower tq numbers?

John@Z1 · 09-13-2011, 05:25 PM

Keep up the good work guys!

XwChriswX · 09-13-2011, 05:31 PM

Everyone keeps saying they won't work, but there is still no Proof as to such.

So no one needs to freak out about it unless we can see an install with them...

Jamaica · 09-13-2011, 05:36 PM

Honestly I don't think there will be proof until Someone tries it. I doubt GTM will test someone elses headers on there system. A simple phone call to GTM will answer your theory regarding the headers

So can this be understood as GTM Hasn't even tried it with the FI Headers? Claiming something doesn't work without even trying? I don't really think this is the case, but I was hoping for some info in the press release... Pulleys were shot down but not the headers. There has to be more to this story because I look at GTM as a respectable company...
