When you do the header gaskets, I would take a look at Percy's reusable header gaskets. I never had one leak and they are a little on the thick side so that they crush and will seal up even if you have a little warp in the flange.

Don't need headers. My stock exhaust manifolds flow enough for me to be happy.

Maybe 20 HP. Friends Kenny Bell powered car only picked up 20 HP from stock manifolds and X-pipe. That was using MAC LTs.

650hp missing 20hp, is it really needed. He has to leave a little on the table so he doesn't put too big a gap between you and him.

I don't know about the 650HP. It's got to be around the 580 range with only trapping 125 with how much this pig weighs.

Haha at this point I want him to walk me as hard as possible. I hate losing close races but seeing a car take off like your standing still when you're at WOT puts a grin on my face every time. I couldnt stop smiling for an hour after James gave me the hit on a roll and then lept in front of my slow brick on wheels like I was parked...

That is a tune away my friend. I am working on my fuel system right now to upgrade it so it can actually put some power down to the ground. My suspension only needs upper control arms then all the power can be planted to the ground.
