Found this quote....

"According to engine builder Mike Osucha, (MORE Performance, Charlotte, NC) "We recently built a 396-cubic inch LT1 engine that produced 455 horsepower with an open exhaust system. When we installed two Random Tech converters, the engine produced 458 horsepower. When you look at the complete test results, you see that at some points the engine makes more power without converters than with them. And vice versa. I think the bottom line is that there's a tuning effect when a slight restriction is placed in an exhaust system. But the real point is that with the right catalytic converters, you don't have to sacrifice any horsepower to make an engine emissions legal."

This would be the only company i would ( and have ) buy from.

Thanks Mark for all the info. I really enjoy hunting down these parts......but doing with as much accuracy as possible. I have noticed in most PT forums out there, that as soon as some one says do this, everyone jumps to spend their money. A bit of patience can go along way towards the right reward ! Thanks again, and if you can dig up any more info ( part numbers etc ) , please post them. Thanks.....Pipes.
