Come on up! We could use another bad *** car around here!!!! Plus you can work on it all winter in the garage while the track is closed, instead of really racing and figuring out how to beat all us part timers year round.

I see you don't have the oil level sensor in. A friend of mine and myself just installed a set of these friday and they hit it. Is it necessary to use it or no?

Did you get these for aesthetic purposes only or are you hoping for a small hp gain also? I would like to trash off my Hooker lcoateds but I like how my car runs now and would hate to go backwards.

I should add I have a low hp heads and 503 cam only combo so I cant afford to lose any power, concern being the bigger tubes.

These are bigger than hookers (1 3/4 stepped to 1 7/8). Why would you be going backwards?

I bought these headers for 2 main reasons, the collectors on my jethots were in bad shape been runnin them for about 4 yrs with no complaints but i wanted bling headers lol, 2nd my motor on nitrous makes over 700flyHP so i fugure goin to some bigger tubes couldn't hurt anything, the motor might have been restricted with the 1 3/4 pipes. If u plan on spraying the extra flow doesn't hurt. It all comes back down to a 3'' collector anyway

Thats odd. I'd say it must be the canton pan but casper has the same one.

What kind of heating problems are you referring to?

I have them and dont have any heating problems at all. I cant really tell where underhood temps are that much higher than with coated headers.
