Bob - I think Eric is pulling your leg. The stock HE’s still have 1 1/2” od tubing up to the collector and from the dyno charts I’ve seen, going from ok headers to great headers gets you a 15-20hp increase on a built 3.2. I guess it will be hard to know without doing a back to back comparison on the same engine, same dyno, same day, etc.

I guess it will be hard to know without doing a back to back comparison on the same engine, same dyno, same day, etc. Eric may be pulling my leg but if you look at the cutoff of the area where the 3 pipes converge on to one it is 1.5 x 3 or 4 inches. That should allow a lot more gas to get out and not a bottleneck? Bob B 1.5In at head Marty@MSDS may give us his take on this. Yes the dyno will be the real test by E says it feels so much faster and he was going by what Kellys car did with same mod. Bob B And happy new year to you buddy |
