hey yall f body fans i have a tech question. if yall could answer it i would greately appreciate it. i am 16 years old and my first car is a 1986 camaro originally equipped with the 305 LG4 carbed motor. now my question is which headers should i get if i want to get max performance but keep the emissions on the car, the edelbrock TES or the Hedmad Tork Stepped? does it matter if i plug the tubes the from the AIR if i but the non AIR headers? i would prefer the non AIR tube headers but do not want to distort or messup any emissions on the car? any that could help i would really appreciate it.

 

Research the Hooker 2055's.

 

yeah i would agree with shifty!! The 2055 Hookers Headers is the way to go. Im doing the install right now.ill let you know how it comes!!

 

I put in the 2055's a couple weeks ago and I am very please.

As shifty knows, I probably need to tune my car though..

if i only had some help with that

:ahem ahem:

 

it seems that everyone likes the hooker 2055 headers. i'm know that yall have more experience than i do being only 16. are the 2055 AIR tube headers or non? when i saw the hedman tork stepped headers i thought that they are very good design. do any of you have comments on the hedman tork stepped? thanks alot guys i really am using all this help to make my f body represent what v8 power is all about!

 

Had you followed instructions, you would know the answer to that question.

No personal experience, but the concept of smaller to larger stepped primaries is typically to improve mid-RPM torque on mildly modified engines. If you want more higher RPM power, go for 1-5/8" primaries.

Another topic addressed regularly that would be answered with a little research.

 

hey guys i researched the hooker 2055 and they look like a good set of headers. i see where yall are pleased with them. i believe that this is the way i will be going in the future thanks for all your help and if there are any other comments on your headers please let me know thanks alot guys

 

hey i found and researched the hooker 2055 headers. i have found a problem which i have run across before. i have the LG4 setup which is a carbed motor. the 2055 headers are meant for the TPI motors. i would still like to use them but a piece of the AIR tube is turned 180 degrees from where it needs to be. i have circled it in the pic. do you think i should purchase these headers and cut the piece off the weld it back on the other way? i have included an attachment of the cirled part on the headers.

 

sorry about that heres that attachment to the previous reply

 

The headers will still work. You can fab the air up the way you mentiuoned or you can buy a bunch of hose and turns and re-direct it the way you need to. I believe five7 did it this way. I could be wrong.
