Also GeorgeC; do you think this will make a big enough change that you'd need to change cams?? (I almost think you have a nice enough exhaust NOW to use a singe pattern; or reverse split pattern cam.....You are not running N2O are you?)<hr /></blockquote>Nope, no nitrous here... As far as a cam change, I have been thinking about that, too. I have about a million little things I want to try on the car, but hardly have the time or the money for any of them.

Just some food for thought... I dumped 100lbs out of the car and made a couple of "open exhaust" passes at the TR Shootout this weekend and only gained .04sec over running with the mufflers on the car and the extra weight.

George, I'm going to be trying the following setup here shortly:

*Dynatech 1-3/4" - 1-7/8" headers
*Dynatech 1-7/8" - 3" high-velocity merge collectors
*3" X-pipe (if justin sutton would hurry up and ship it to me!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> )
*Two 12" x 3" Dynomax bullets
*Two turndowns

I'll let everyone know how it turns out.<hr /></blockquote>That setup has already been on a heads cam car. Grots with a y-pipe made more power.<hr /></blockquote>Which car and were they the exact same parts? My car has been on the dyno and made 3 consecutive pulls and produced a variance of 7 RWHP with absolutely nothing changed, so I'm not real worried about it. The setup will make power, and will sound awesome, and I found great deals on all the parts.<hr /></blockquote>TrahnZam WS6's car, http://www.speeddemonmotorsports.com...nick_gette.htm<hr /></blockquote>All right, Nick's car, yes. I'm familiar with that car. Now. Is there not a chance in the world that the HP gain you refer to wasn't due to any other variables?

So how drastic did you go to loose 100lbs?
