You need some more punctuation and a few more capital letters... here's some...

It sounds as if you've got the basics down for a 3L swap. Go for it!!!

ok guys sorry about the head aches. i was drunk and deep in thought. as for the punctuations and capitalizations i have an excuse...GED brad as for knowing about the 3L's, been following your posts and learning from u and a few others. thank you jet-i-3L-master

I agree! Brad you have given me alot of idea's and help THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

Skip the aftermarket Y-pipe, UDP. They're junk IMO. Don't do 3L valves unless you're ready to do porting on the intake/exhaust passages, and run 3L LIM; or it'd be a waste of money IMO.

1a. Aftermarket Y is decent - Modified stock is better, & true duals is best
1b. Heck yeah!

2a. Yes you will definitely have a lot of porting to do (well worth it!)
2b. I strongly disagree. I'm sure others will as well like Tom, David, SHOshop, the list goes on. 3L valves are the biggest upgrade you can make vs the abysmally small 2.5 valves (the 26mm exhaust valve is pitiful! ) If you don't do this mod to a 3L your are shooting yourself in the foot! Repeatedly!!!

Not sure about SHOShop, but Tom and DavidZ both had porting done to the intake/exhaust with 3L valves. So did I. I'm saying just fitting 3L valves will not gain anything without porting.
