I will be doing a monster cam that favors
the exhaust side.

My Question-
Is there any loss going to a full 1 7/8"
(with race merge collector)as opposed to
1 3/4 with full race merge collector?

It will be a dual exhaust with Borla XR-1's
almost directly off the header with dumps(all 3")
I will probably go with QTP's.
I haven't ruled out stepped headers,either.
I'm open for opinions. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thanks,

Depends on the setup, man...

I thought I said what the set-up was. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
All the bolt-on's.(currently)
(adding)Monster cam.

Id say you may loose some low end torque. If you car is gonna live in the upper RPM range, they may work well for you. I remember reading JS actually made less power with his Dynatech stepped headers than his MAcs. Do you homework, they may be better suited for a stroker than a stocked cubed motor.

This is for a drag racing application.
All I care about is 4k to 7k.

Sean, first off, sorry we never got back to you- Jason ended up with the wrong valve seals, so that stopped our cam swap- but check out bigSS' updated numbers in the internal section <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Next- Mirror Jasons setup- Non stepped, 1.75 dynatechs, Stainless merges, and an ORY pipe ( for you, setup your exhaust after the collector like you said above). I put that on his car friday night. I will have the cam in wednesday and we will see how it does that weekend <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

If it makes good power, there is your setup, if not, well, we wont have to worry about that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

FWIW, bigSS is looking into exactly what you speak of. Whats your time frame here on this project? <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Early april.
My car goes in for the cage March 21st.
When it comes back...it's power time!

I'll put the cam in and dyno with the exhaust
I have on now.(with tuning)
Put the new exhaust on and redyno.

I sent your Dad a similar/related e-mail,but haven't
heard from him.

I like the QTP headers,have you checked them out?

Alex has some DAMN nice numbers.
I plan to hit over 420rwhp-G5X-2.

they do make one but you have to special order it from them.

1 7/8 will work on a stock cube engine you just need to have alot of power to use it. That means really good heads and a 224+ cam.

Do Kooks straight 1 7/8 with merged collectors. Kooks has a cool semi-merge, but since you wont have a Y or crossover, a real merge is the ticket.

is this moster cam around 232/240?

The Juggernaut

iTrader: (7)

I have to check on Kook's stuff.
Is it good stuff?

232/240...that's awefully big...hmmm..I don't know. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Who carries the Kooks stuff?
I couldn't find any real info on the kooks site.
Thanks

No real info on them on the net yet. TEA sells KOOKS headers.

Does Dynatech make a 1&7/8 full length header?

The Juggernaut

iTrader: (7)

I don't think they do,but I'm not sure.

I'm starting to think a stepped header would
work better.
But I'm keeping in mind future progress.
(N2O,heads,cubes,ect.)

C'mon people!Let's hear it!

What's the best Drag racing header?

Pro Stock John

iTrader: (34)

Kooks is also becoming a sponsor.

TR has 1&7/8 full length's too.

I need a set for my car but I'll put my old headers back on initially.

How are kooks better than dynatechs?
Is there any major difference?

Fenris Ulf

I think 1 3/4 would be better for a setup like that.
