another ramjet 350?...about headers

I was doing a lil searching on the sight and didnt find any info about the exhaust...i know it realy is a plug and play motor so basically i cant expect to get any more power than it produces...so are headers even a hassle? will it do anything to the car...and which ones would be good for it? and also what is that thing called that u can do to re tun it to 430 hp???

There is a ram jet 430 out there where they use the Hot cam, and fast burn heads. The ECM is also reprogrammed. I believe it sells for 7 grand. That is an aweful lot when you can have an LT1 that makes that same amount of power for half the cost. I would go with a set of long tube hedders if ground clearnce is not an issue. However, if it is, I would look at SLP 1 3/4" or Hooker 2055's. You do not want to choke that thing with exhaust manifolds.

you can run any header package u want aslong as you have the ypipe and what not to go with it. i chose dynomax headers for mine with 2 1/2 collectors and 1 5/8 primaries thing runs great does not choke the engine. although it calls for dual exhaust which is a big problem for ground clearane. also that engine needs a stock pan on it because the pan thats on the motor is a truck pan. which i totally overlooked and had to change pans because my y pipe wouldnt clear it and yes that motor is a big pain if you wanted to upgrade later on only place i heard that does the ecm on it is arizone speed and marine. which wasnt a prob for me because i wanted that motor and that was enough for me. another note the engine runs extremely rich have fun passing emissions

Yah i was thinking that since i will proly be doing true duals anyways...proly with an H pipe that i might as well just get long tubes because hopefully it wont affect to bad...it doesnt bother me slamming on the brakes on the middle of a road just to not bottom out so its all good. What are you running in the quarter with that motor and stal right now? my set up was going to be somewhat similar. Also the only way basically to get more ponies is that 7 grand? AZ speed and marine would do the same thing?

well what i ran in the quarter is embarassing cuz i couldnt hook i spun threw 60' and almost hit the wall on several occassions i ran a 15.2@97 with a 3.1 for a 60' and if you get the hot cam and fast burns az marine can reprogram it for you and you should be able to get around 430 but you have to price it out to see if it would be cheaper. im happy with my 350hp version happy swappin
