If the GTM SC kit is having problems with a LTH with no cats and not building boost ......... is there going to be a problem with running stock headers and aftermarket HFC's and a larger diameter CBE? I do believe that Stillen and GTM have tested their SC kits on stock cats and a larger CBE and have shown good results. But I don't believe they have completed any tests with aftermarket HFC's.

This is going to be a interesting read on what the outcome is going to be for both GTM's and Stillen's SC kits. I hope that the final outcome isn't that we all have to have stock HFC's and stock headers to have a SC kit ..... that wouldn't be nice and in my mind it would prevent some serious gains with a free flowing exhaust and HFC's. Plus, with the extra fuel/air from the SC boosted intake flow, the stock cats would eventually burn out or worse; plug off from the extra exhaust gases. I basically don't have much faith or generally like the performance of a stock catalytic converter in a stock or forced induction situation.

GTM and Stillen have some serious testing to do answer those questions and I'm awaiting to see the results.
