Great feeling isn't it

Well, after you get past the giant billows of smoke that fill up the garage and make you wonder "I knew there would be smoke but.... holy crap, is something on fire"

Sounds great. Put a heat shield on your starter to protect them from the headers. I just had to replace my starter for that reason.

Congrats on being proactive and solving a dangerous issue with the LS7. It's a big bite in the wallet to do what you've done, but a much bigger hit buying a new motor.
