    I got the kit from Stahl headers...(good company to deal with)...they sent so much extra pipe I can make another set of headers if I had flanges and collectors. Soon as I get a couple of passes their headed to Jet Hot for coating.
    I wouldn't mind runnin some of that cool mountain air through it some time this fall...:thumbs2:

    ....I also got my header kit from stahl.....however, due to the cnc program that was run on my heads, I had to make my own flanges.

    Lance, my car will have 3 stages of nitrous, a 2-stage plate and a single fogger.

    Well, I went to the track again tonight and was able to get in two more passes. Five hours and only 2 passes. Geez!! And I never got out of line the entire time. :(
    Oh well, here's what I got:
    1st pass:
    et=7.151
    RT=.3411
    60ft=1.692
    330ft=4.863
    mph=86.70
    2nd pass:
    et=7.203
    RT=.3930
    60ft=1.731
    330ft=4.937
    mph=88.56

    I can still feel room for improvement. Planning on going again Sat night. Still hoping to get in the 6's. :) Hopefully there won't be as many people as there were tonight. That was unbelievable.

    That should be a handful. Are you predicting any HP levels or track times yet?

    Shooting for 800 HP on motor and then however much I end up spraying. When I ordered the pistons I had them make 10 of them so I have a little bit of room for error on the tune-up. I will be happy with 5.50's (1/8th mile) but would like to see 5.20's.

    The heads are Victor heads (not jr's.) The port design is by Advance Airflow Engineering. Carl Foltz Engineering did the CNC work. They flow around 380 cfm @ .800 lift. Wilson Manifolds did the intake work.
