This is what everybody I know uses. Very good, reasonable price.

Here is a no cost one http://www.headerdesign.com/login/header.asp
BTW, still loving my Fastchips PCM. It's on a 1997 Yukon you did for me a few years back.
Can you tune for E85 only?

6600 rpm clutch dump of death Administrator
Its in my spreadsheet for Valve events.
You can put in your motor specs, and look down the page and it give you header length and primary size.
The formulas I have are:
Header pipe length (in inches) = ((850*(360-EVO))/RPM – 3
Header diameter (in inches) = ((cylinder. disp. * 16.38 / ((hdr len + 3) * 25))) * 2.1
EVO - Exhaust Valve Opens (gross)
These formulas are from A. Graham Bell’s Performance Tuning in Theory and Practice.
For a street engine, the RPM used should be the peak torque RPM. For a race engine, the peak hp RPM should be used. I find that the peak tq numers to be insanely long. So, I use peak HP.

Great! Glad you like it. Guess I'm going to have to work on that. I haven't seen it around here yet. Your not the first to ask about that. If I can locate a source here, I'll look into tuning for it.
Take care, Ed
