From the above link to the dyno test comparing the headers.

" Infact the 3000 rpm numbers were 209hp 366 tq from the 1 3/4" headers & 209hp 359.9 tq! "

This drives me crazy everytime I read it. How can the horsepower be the same and the torque different at the same rpm?

I would prob buy the tsp headers if I were looking for some. I really could care less though if a dyno says they make alittle more power than pacesetter. Its funny when people start to argue about dyno numbers.

I'm not arguing them, but rather trying to put to rest the age old arguement that 1 7/8" is too big on stock cubes. Kinda like, "Is a 102 too big for a 346...."

Beautiful, I think I'm switching my mind from BBK to these TSP 1 7/8 SS LT's when I replace my Pacesetters.
