Default block hugger headers

how much of a restriction would block hugger headers be on a procharged engine. I can probably buy block huggers of the shelf but long tubes would have to be custom made for my car

While it was not supercharged, the latest Engine Masters episode on YouTube covered this same topic.

Clearly on a lower powered setup any difference will be much smaller than on a high power setup.

But if they fit they fit. I wouldnt worry about it too much unless you're really stuck and need more power and cannot find it elsewhere.
