So….more header talk….this had me scratching my head

He says… “ you have obviously been listening to dyno guys too much. You need to think about torque, more torque, faster down the track. You have a bigger runner head now, you have lost torque, thus the 3 loss in the 60 foot.
He said a lot of the stuff he is doing, he is telling his head customers to put 1.5 inch tubes on, not even 1 5/8. I was like..are you friggin kidding me..lol
Said he just finished a set of heads on a shoebox Nova that qualified 10th with a 327/ 275 horse motor that they installed couple days before Sonoma last weekend, and in spite of having wheelstand issues car went like 9.99..13 quicker than they had ever been…and still sorting it out.
Guy is without a doubt smart, just goes against everything I have ever though I knew about headers.
Anyhow..

Now go read what Larry Widmer has to say.

I never asked him. His big point was do whatever you can to build torque

I tend to agree with that.
