log headers vs. full headers
We made on a customers car a little over 650rwhp (~18psi)on an LT1 a few years back. BUT, at 14psi we had 45psi of backpressure. Swapping from log to a header style system dropped backpressure from 45 to 29. Car picked up a shade over 100rwhp. So something to think about....., also EGT's dropped down ~250deg.

And yes, Parish8 put down 1011rwhp with a single log set-up and truck manifold similar to mine. He had a T88. You can go to 1320video to see the vid of it.

Still stayed as a 3" and the exhaust was an SLP 2 on the left.
Mine: 363 cid, log header, T76GTS, 3" downpipe, 3.5" exhaust over the axle, no muffler.
Results: 18 psi boost, 34 psi backpressure.
Airboat: 377 cid, tubular headers, T76GTS, 3.5" downpipe only 2' long, no exhaust or muffler.
Results: 18 psi boost, 26 psi backpressure.
Perhaps my log header is a better design than most. It's 3" in diameter and 3 of the tubes merge into it. Only #1 T's in at 90 deg.

In my first year, when I was in Caluclus, everyone said it was a "weed out class" and it would get easier.
In my second year, when I moved on to Statics and Dynamics, everyone said they were "weed out classes" and it would get easier after that.
In my third year, when I took Thermo, Heat Transfer, and Fluids, everyone said they were serious business now that I got all the easy stuff out of the way.
In the last year, I took Machine Design and many people struggled, though I took to it well since it was crank-slider (crank, rod, piston), cam lobes design
, etc. . .
The point is that no Semester of Engineering school is easy.

Was this a TTi LT1 log setup?
