The people who always say everything dynoed low are the same ones who will be asking why they "only" made 405 rwhp cam only

My car is heads/cam and I currently have Dynatech LT's (the older coated ones). They are 1-3/4's (the newer ones are 1-3/4 that are stepped to 1-7/8's, but I don't think mine are...I'll have to check) and the coating is coming off. I'm thinking about upgrading to some American Racing 1-7/8 headers instead of having mine recoated. I know the bigger motors pick up when upgrading to the larger headers, but I'm not sure if I'll gain anything. I'm pretty sure I won't lose from where I'm surrently at.

I fully recommend going 1 7/8. I am a little bias toward kooks but i know ARH are some damn nice pieces. If i remember right when we ran it to 6250ish, i still only lost 4-5hp from 6100. For the most part, that is a lot less drop off then i had expected.

Negative. This was a very non optioned car, not even TC. Besides just the slp part # to make it a SS. Nothing extra.

First pass ever in this car with 275 drag radial on stock rims, opening day was a 13.0 107 2.2.
Ended the day with a 12.89 108 2.0. With a stall and hotter, more rubber on the track i should be able to cut that down a bit more. I am happy with it. 1,450 FT 67 degrees.



I will get better pictures up later.
