While most turbos run dished pistons.....

+8cc inverted dome based off the Mozez heads
65cc combustion chamber
4.250" stroke
Works out to a nice 12.5:1 CR

Dont ask about the rod length or the wrist pin height....

I'm looking at building another set of headers v3.0 for the space shuttle as mark calls it. Where can I get some reasonably priced 1 7/8" elbows or u-bends?

Don't want to try the current headers first and see if they match the new combo?

I intend on trying the orginal headers as I know they will work. I think the newest revision of them will help out with a few things from backpressure to helping spooling.

If you're building new headers, how much would you like for your old ones?

Probably $500. They are full SS, with EGT bungs, EGT probes depth are measured and exactly the same on each one. I'm going to make new headers just working on the design. They wont look like any other LS turbo header I can tell you that.

Hey Phil. Do you think you have enough room to do a tri-y header per side? I think that design will help you get your exhaust velocity up, it that's what you are looking to do... Just a thought.

Thats great news, now if we can only get a set of heads for header fabrication we would be in good shape.
