Re: Edelbrock Drag Race Headers Speaking of the devil, I was just about to post about these.
According to the description in chevy hi performance its for Camaros with 5.7 LS1's.
They have 1 5/8 primaries stepped up to 1 3/4" and terminate in a 3" merge collector.
Thier long tubes.

Re: Edelbrock Drag Race Headers The dimensions of these headers are actually 1.75" stepping into 1.875" with 3.5" merge collectors. These headers may also address Fenris' question about somebody stepping up to the plate with a new header design with correct tube phasing.

Re: Edelbrock Drag Race Headers Very interesting....
I like the price, too! Maybe I'll try a pair of these out and see how they work. My Dynatech headers are bent and beat to hell from a few rough landings. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />

Re: Edelbrock Drag Race Headers Those headers look awesome for $400! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Stepped LT's with merge colloctors for a LOT less than the other comparable headers out there. I'd get those if I didn't already have Hooker LT's <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

Re: Edelbrock Drag Race Headers Edelbrock has been making good products for a long time. Don't knock these headers till someone's tried them out for fitment, performance, etc. New products are good for everyone because sometimes they work better than what we've got right now...

No more than you said that 1 5/8 is the primary tube of choice for a set of "RACE" headers...as these are being referred to. Wouldn't you agree that for "race" headers, 1 3/4 (or larger) would make ALOT more sense? Afterall, the idea with "race" headers IS to make the most power possible, right?
As it turns out, Edelbrock seems to agree that 1 5/8 isn't the best choice for race header primaries. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />

Re: Edelbrock Drag Race Headers Slip fit collectors are a definite turn-off. I went through that once already with the dynatechs and four 02s later I finally wised up. They would be a perfect choice for someone like GeorgeC who doesn't even have 02s though.
Re: Edelbrock Drag Race Headers They are available from Summit, for under $400, just run the part #. I believe info from their web site says that they are 1.3/4 to 1.7?8. Which makes these worth a try, in my book.
