Header Performance

Headers seem to be a popular mod to TPI's. Will you see a gain in horsepower and/or E.T. on a stock L98? If so, how much?

It will give you gains for sure. I have not been to the track since I put them in, but it pulls way harder up top. You will see even more gains if you do headers, hi-flow cat, and a good catback.

Yeah, I just put long tubes on and the difference is huge in my 305TPI.

My 350 (not a TPI) wouldn't pull past 4500 with L69 manifolds... since headers and exhaust, it pulls hard to 5500!

power

Sounds good. I already have a catback and noticed some more power. Now I just got to find the funds for some 1 3/4's

headers on my stock 305 lowered my 1/4 e.t. from 15.4 to 14.9 ....i could only imagine what it will do with a 350 ...take it to the track and let us know ...and it will pull more rpm too

Will do. Hopefully a couple tenths off I hope.
