the smaller end fits perfectly over the turbo outlet, and the larger end isnt too much bigger, but enough to squeeze the exaust enlarger piece onto it and the exhaust piece expands to match the intercooler pipe inlet. im not sure about those dimensions, just that it works. i tried to look up the par...

Deadbolt's TD05H-16g legacy version
from http://www.deadboltspeed.com , is that about the right price i should pay for a TD05H-16g? it looks to be perfect for our cars, but i dont know how much people are paying for regular 16g's, not legacy version.

i know that v6 camaros arent z28's. im not stupid. i didnt know you had a TD05H, that changes everything. and the 317whp was what my friend had dynoed with his z28. 250hp sounds about right and that would be able to beat a z28. that one guy with 242whp said he could get a 12.4 with the right launch ...

my friend has a 96 z28 and he runs 13's consistently with only an intake and exhaust. those have 317 whp, and if you only have a stock turbo i dont think you'd be making enough hp to beat him. i would believe you if you had a TD05h. maybe it was a six. those have 160 chp then you would beat him that...
