ok just like the title says,,,,,,,, is there a big difference from tubular in flow and back pressure given the same size turbo, T4? there they are

I'd say if you could curve those other 3 primaries slightly like that last primary header tube that would help quite a bit just by looking at it, but thats just me and my picky *** self. Then i guess that would be considered a tubular manifold depending on how far you take the curvature idea lol

I'm sure you could do some basic calculations to figure the volume of the headers. Work with pulse timing and figure the volume of gas versus the volume of gas in the header at the time. That would give you a percent of volume occupied which you could roughly work with.

Run them, concidering your primarys are so short I am betting you have a space problem. And there really is not way to angle them enough to make a difference with out greatly complicating spark plugs/wires etc.
Headers will flow better then logs but are not needed for most street rides.
What are you putting them in.?

I dont want to get in the middle of any contest . I run headers on my car but my cousen runs a super stock tractor 90 to 100psi of boost has log manifolds on intake and exhaust here is a link to a pic f the tractor. It really dont show the exhaust but he runs around 2 psi of boost to 1 psi of back pressure. we have talked many times of how i do good to get 1 psi of boost to 2 psi of back pressure just food for thought http://www.distributorless.com/media/rides.php
also see how much torque a 100psi will make http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhRUO...eature=related
