Ladies and gentleman I have very good news for us F owners. I was talking to James Evans the owner of JE import perfermance and he is going to start making some aftermarket parts for out cars. He makes custom parts for Hondas, Nissans, and LS1s (that get dropped into 240's mainly). He has one of the best shops on the east coast for import performance. I'm letting him use my car to make a set of headers custom made for our cars. He hopes to make a street and a race application. His headers for the LS1's make 30 whp so hopefully we can see the same numbers. I'm going to keep you guys updated on how this goes and I will provide dyno sheets as well. Let me know if any of you are interested because he wants to make them for production. hopefully there will be more parts to come. let me know of any ideas to relay to him as well.
Jason, JE Imports from Essex MD correct?

Thats correct. Hes done work on two of my cars (tuned an 87 turbo supra for me and is currently swapping a 2jzgte into my sc so I can run a lot of boost). Hes an awesome guy if you haven't talked to him before. He can do just about anything when it comes to cars. Did you want to meet up soon. I've been really busy lately but I'm thinking about going to the track this weekend (possibly mason dixon). I'll let you know soon.
A Friend of mine got his CRX ECU flashed thru him and a Engine swap..I heard Good stories and Bad ones about the place mostly on timing wise as in I heard they get backed up a lot..
Yeah I do want to meet up when I don't have work or don't get tied down..
How about this weekend?

Honestly, I don't think it's gonna be much of race for me b/c you got a Intake and exhaust plus since your getting headers..The money I was gonna spend on Mods for the F went up recently on my Commute car..$9K..:eek:
When I get same mods as you then I think we're gonna go neck and neck..:D

Atlanta won't be a problem. James ships stuff all over the place so I know it won't be a problem.



Jin it doesn't matter who wins the race as long as it was fun haha. My cousin is going and he has a SRT 8 challenger. You can beat him and feel really good that you beat a 6 liter hemi. I'm pretty sure we are going on sunday.
True!:) I'm just amazed how much more power it's gonna pump out from the headers..Around Towson There aren't too many cars here that can keep up with me..5 plus month ago I raced a GTO 6.0 but we were going neck and neck mainly b/c of heavy traffic and I had a passenger but about a month ago I raced a another one hands down beat it..Few Weeks back I raced a Camaro 400Hp SS Automatic not the Manuel 425 version beat that too! As for manual version can't say since never raced one yet!!

No one will ever race me. It sucks I don't understand. I've only been able to full out race bikes really. I raced some bike last night wasn;t sure what it was because it was dark but I know he never pulled on me. We were neck and neck the whole time. I tried to race a vette yesterday but he wouldn't race and when he finally gave a little jump and I hit it and I flew past him and he wouldn't race me after that :confused:. I guess the exhuast scares people I don't know. Oh and like 15 second VW's try to race me :p. Not worth the time. Jin I can't do sunday my brother is coming to my house to work on my bar in my basement with me. Ravens theme!!!!
Jason, be careful racing Vettes b/c 2005-2009s they are light cars stock than F's with higher intake and slighty more Hp..Then when you get into Z06 and ZR1 they're really frightening..I raced few vettes here and there with or without mods on the F, Vettes are fast cars..
BTW No problem, I work anyway..

Joe
No Cats. When they drove it around for a little while no check engine lights. Im getting the first production model and I'm going to drive with it for 500 miles to make sure still no check engine. I'll get it done in a few days I'm sure. As far as the dyno numbers because I don't have my factory exhaust I believe we are going to do a dyno with your exhaust and intake and they add the headers to see what the new increase is. I know it might be a couple more horses then a stock set up but it will still give us a good idea.

Jin you have a stock F still right? If your down maybe I can talk to James to see if he'll dyno yours stock and then just header added. Let me know what you think before I go and talk to him.

From what I hear it sounds sick :D.
Sounds Good! Just let me know in a advance and we'll head down JE imports..

You will pass md emissions without cats gymkata as long as you don't pull a check engine. The Joe z exhaust has drone but it sounds hot so I don't care. It sounds good. I'm sure it will be a little louder with headers but hey that's the point. I want vettes and stangs to be scared haha. Let me know when you get back home.
Jason, it's good that you want to scare the vettes and stangs but be careful b/c they are vettes out there with mods as well..And remember Vettes are LIGHT CARS as is so with tiny bit of mod they are godawful fast..
Example: Z06 and VERY RARE TO NON EXISTENT on the street ZR1..
Even the regular Vettes are fast due to the weight..

I know about vettes. I respect them but i'm not affraid. If they beat me oh well it was fun but then I can always bring out my sc and kick their ass haha.
Yeah, at least we know where we stand..Man must know his limit..;)

BTW I forgot you said you had SC400 with a 525Whp correct?

Much as I like modded cars Bone stock cars with lot of power naturally are just insane..Once again Z06 and ZR1 or for that matter Insane Gallardo's and Murcielago's..Beautiful cars..

Anyway I'll PM you b/c I want to see the final works on the Headers as well..

Guys, give the man some breathing room! When it's ready it will be READY!!
Personally as I said earlier I rather have the headers working 110% than .50% or less from a rush job..When it's done I'm sure Jason will give us the 411!! I just hope it works out in the long run if not I rather see the F in one piece worse comes to worse!!
