A couple of questions...

So I have been sifting through threads here for the last couple of days and I have a couple of questions about my new 7('85 GSL) I haven't been able to find the answers to.

1. what do the mods that it have give it over stock?
mods: Webber carb, RB headers, "custom exhaust", no cats, just a straight shot from the headers to the muffler(and every bit of it is welded together, the comment "you just have a sewer pipe down there huh?" was made recently),all emissions have been striped and a stage 2 clutch.

Also the guy I bought it from said it was ported but I have no way to confirm that right now, so I will assume that it is not.

2. With said mods is there anything extra I should do/know as far as maintinance and/or driving?

3. the headers have a small, hole patch or replace even though the entire exhaust is basically one piece?

1. You have an aftermarket exhaust, and carb. Is that what you are looking for?

2. You need to premix, 1oz per gallon of gas. Mix with oil, I prefer 2 stroke as it burns cleaner. Also a Fuel pump/regulator set at 2.5-4psi (wherever it is happier at)

3. Weld in a plate/patch for it. Unless you want to replace the header. Did they cut off the flange and weld the exhaust to the header?

I guess I should have been more specific,what kind of gains does the setup that is currently on the car give over stock? Since this is my first 7, I would like to know where im starting befor i move on to bigger and better mods.

and yes no flange the headers are welded to the mid pipe, the mid pipe is welded tot he over axle, which is welded to the fart can ... er i mean muffler.
