Project: L-body headers

[mickaz]

there was a guy on quad 4 forum that leaned out the engine fuel on is Q4 and could literally do twice the mileage with a single tank. but i think is cylinder heat was very high.

yes it would be. lean AFRs do have high cylinder temps...

it's why i am kind of wary about leaning it out above 16.2:1... it's what i run for highway fuel mode... i think any leaner, and it would start misfiring or knocking...

I've gone past that, but not for an extended period. mine were usually in the 16's with lean cruse enabled.

Has anybody tested fitment on a W?

[bob442]

dont think so. someone has put S&S headers on a older W body though, firewall needed some love...

[19Cutlass94]

Whats 'older' and what type of fitment is needed? BFH?

[1988GTU]

Too me older would mean 88-97 W body.

[SappySE107]

88-96 is gen 1 w body

[1988GTU]

What about the Monte Carlo/Lumina for 97?

[SappySE107]

[1988GTU]

You should it's an LQ1 possible platform!!!

[bob442]

i think thats a gen 2 version of w body? and 99/00+ is 3rd?

[IsaacHayes]

John, what's the status of the L body headers? I'm in no hurry, can't put them on anytime soon anyway, just wondering.

[SappySE107]

Its called gen 1.5 actually.

Don't tell him that, he will never finish them he just needs to coat them and thats it for the L bodies. J bodies are in progress for welding.
