Headers?

This whole big block A body header debate has got to be the most talked about topic for these cars. I mulled it over when building my car and I opted for the Schumacher tri-Ys for the ease of fit and I'm not willing to give up power steering. My honest opinion is that most people over estimate how much more power big long tube headers will make over smaller, easy to deal with small headers. Take a look at the "Talk me into fenderwell headers" thread and check out the reply's by Womanator. He has a street strip car with the little Schumy's on it and he tried at least two different motors. The hotter engine got it into the 10s with the dinky headers and he claims the small headers give up about .2 seconds in the quarter mile. That's less than a quarter of a second and much less hassels than all the big headers for these cars. Obviously if you spend big bucks on a stroker and all the parts to make big power then the penalty will get bigger but for a mild to moderate car, say mid 10s or slower the Schumy's fit the bill well. Just an opinion, it's your car, do what you want and enjoy it!
