Thats me. The car picked up that in the midrange NOT at peak. Power under the curve is more usable to me than peak HP. Looking forward to the NA track times to see if there is any increase there.

This header is going to shine more on a big H&C, stroker, or any motor with nos, than it will NA.

Mine is still hanging on the wall, waiting for testing to be completed with the current setup. When I decide to install, I will post up before and after dyno, and also track times.

Its not only for the H/C, stroker, or NOS motors, its for everyone looking to get that extra edge. If the car has the potential to make more than 450rwhp than Id suggest them. For a bolt-on car, I cant justify that yet. My car is cam only currently and it gained alot where i wanted it. Even gained about 5-6 up top hp and torque.

Cam only car, 346 ci's. Specs are in my previous post. My car has a tubular K-member. The primary on the drivers side is very close on the motor mount. These are basically a copy of Hookers only in the stepped version. A y-pipe is available i believe through Edlebrock. Im not a fun of it really for the fact that the collectors are 3.5" and it reduces it down to a 3" y-pipe setup. The idea behind junctions is to run the same size pipe to the junction and then reduce it or expand it in size from there but not until it makes it to the junction. I am not interested in Y's since I work at Lanes and build the dual setups for these cars. I built a custom 3.5" X pipe setup for these headers and I must admit the ground clearance is pretty good.

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the info on the Edelbrocks! Do you have any pics of the ground clearance and/or fitment? I have the Eibach Pro Kit, and I am concerned about clearance. Do you happen to have overlays of your two dyno sheets to show where the gains were?

Thanks!

I personally like the 3.5" merge collector. I got a feeling the NOS is gonna like that one. I can only hope to see gains as good as the ones that you saw. Thanks for sharing the results
