Re: race headers?

Super Comps are very well designed and should do fine.

Before you can select the size, you should know the approximate peak HP
RPM, and power level you intend to make.

Lastly, what is the size of the exhaust port on the head?

No, I mean port size as a measure of how much unshrouding you will need
to consider.

There are a few different equations to calculate header primary size, the
one I'm accustomed to does not require valve size.
