Thanks for the reply. I don't have a insulation shield on my hood, didn't have one
when I bought it. Maybe wasn't stock in 92????, I just ordered my SBEC chip.
Should be in today!
I have dual exhaust all the way back and out 2.25" pipe, flowmaster mufflers and
high performance CATs. I hope I get the same sound out of the V6. Also looking at
FLEX fan maybe...........Thanks again!!
