    shorty headers on stock lopo?

    will they fit? i want to get a set of hedmans and toss em on!

    They will, but you will need to relocate the O2 sensors to the down pipe, as well as making the flange for the downpipe larger to fit the 2-1/2" flanges.

          alright thanks blaze
          and also another question, can anything for an H.O. convo be used with my stock lopo computer? like the intake or anything?

            Intake throttle body, and EGR that has been modified to suit the conversion as well. Heads and cam and the two that cause issues.

              ok, so i can use an H.O. intake, throttle body, and egr spacer on my stock computer, after making the necessary changes to the H.O. parts? how much hp would i gain.

                you'd prolly gain around aprox. 10hp from the HO upper intake alone.
                I have stock stang headers, duals and the ho upper with nothing else changed on mine...the throttle response is tremendous!
                seems to spool up slightly faster between 3-4K rpm, too.

                when you change the cam/injectors/heads is when the ECU needs to be changed...especially with the injectors.
                otherwise it will "think" the engine's under a load and pump more fuel, thus, running too rich.
                a word of advise, be sure not to swap in the injectors/ecm with the stock cam/heads..mine ran like crap with that combo...especially in the cold.

                  get the bbk shorty headers......same price and they bolt on much easier......gadget and i have the heddman headers, and they arent as easy to install....the bbk's have thicker flanges and you can get a 1/4 drive socket on most of the bolts unlike the hedmans where we had to use the open end of a wrench

                          I spent hours wallering out holes and using only the smallest wrenches with tiny rings to get my headers to work. Go with BBK.

                              You can use the intake only, but the restriction point is the 55mm throttle body, and the small EGR spacer. Best bet is to get the EGR spacer bored out, and get an HO tb and weld on the cable brackets.
