I am running a custom McLeod Rev Loc Sintered Iron clutch. It has a larger disk and revised spring pressures. I can't believe how easy it is to drive on the street even with those gears...

Great numbers guys!! I wonder how the setup would react to a full 3 inch Ypipe and 3 or 4 inch intermediate pipe with 3-4inch Borla XR1 muffler?
Might not lose as much as you think <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Cheers,
Chris

I can't wait to swap my FLPs for Dynatech stepped headers now! I may try an open header dyno for the hell of it, before we build the 3" Y into a 3.5" mid/cutout.

Great numbers, congrats!

I would love to test a set of straight 1 7/8" headers either Dynatech or Grotyohans to see if the stepped headers really make any difference. Also, I think I may test the straight 3.5" collectors next to see if there is any value in the merge collectors...

I would love to see it dyno with a set of regular 3.5" collectors. I am trying to decide between the two....those damn merge collectors are really expensive.

So this test was open TTS headers with 18" extensions VS. Dynatech headers with 3.5" open merge collectors?

Awesome HP & Tq Shane <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Congrat's!

Since we can't get Nineball to belly up to the bar (by his own admission he's too cheap <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> ) maybe you can get a set of these merge collectors and try them out to satisfy your scientific nature <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
