Hey Rodney. I put on a set of HSC 1 7/8" headers on my 408sbc. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why my timeslips when south. I recently swapped in a set of 1 5/8 Dynomax headers, and picked up 0.2 (yes 2 tenths) in the 1/8th mile!!! No other change, just the header swap made a big difference.
Get the smaller tube headers, and sell the ones you have. Don't make the same mistake. :-) good luck, "Rodney." wrote: > I picked up some Hooker Super Comps from Frank on this list a couple years > ago... at the time I didn't realize there were large tube and small tube > headers.
