That is the definately the head. I may just take the 4 bolts i have left for the hfc to y pipe connection to a home depot and match them.

Zforme - that goofy bolt will stay there. You'll use one of ours to mount that "wing" brace to the cats. If you didn't break those top bolt on the header/HFC flange, you can use that one as well. They are the same thread.

Just for reference, the bolts sizes you would be looking for are M10x1.25 x 35mm long. If they don't have metric then a 3/8" x 1.5" long bolt/nut combo would work as well.

I ended up using the top bolts from the header/hfc flange, worked like a charm, THANKS!

Everything went smooth tonight. Drove a couple miles. I like it, not sure the GF will be thrilled, but that's to be expected.

Is there a typical break in period for these? I plan to go to the 1/4 mile track Tuesday. Should I have a certain amount of miles on them before I go race?

Also, this ties in with the previous question, how long till the ecu "learns" and gives me my best performance?

Did you disconnect/reconnect your battery?

ZforMe 05-15-2009 08:31 AM

I have not.

Well, if you want your ECU to adapt quickly, you should. Disconnect it, stomp on the brakes a few times, then reconnect it. Tip: I have all my settings written down on a piece of paper (e.g., radio presets, rpm setting for shift light, etc.) to make it easier to set everything back afterwards. You'll most likely also need to reset your windows (see owner's manual). After you do this, drive it around for a few days, taking care to do a mix of normal and hard driving, and you should be good to go. The more you drive, the more it learns.

Same Thing...well Almost
 
I bought a set of Berk HFC's along with an Invidia Q300 catbacks and a JDW pop charger. Nothing new for folks here, but I did buy an OBDCOM to hook to my computer and car so I can measure my mass air flow and a few engine performance items as I add the mods to the car. I want to see if I can detect a change in the sensors measurements as the mods go on plus I can check and get rid of cel's if they pop up. A little different approach than I've read so far.

Great approach! keep us in the loop with your findings
