so i'm within a few days of being able to start my stroker. just waiting on my pushrods and i need to do my exhaust. i have a gibson stainless header and was wondering if i should cut the collector off and weld in a 2.5" or if i should leave it alone and just make the pipe from the collector back 2.5'

Just a follow up, How is your engine running?
Especially the valve springs? How are they holding up?

engine runs like a raped ape. lots of low end torque and plenty of power to smoke these 37's i'm currently running.....transmission is pissing me off though so a standard is going in soon

Great to hear.
That Lunati 63501 cam is healthy and the springs are both quite unique.
