I ran uncapped pipes for a year on the street and last week I decided to put the caps on for a change and my god did my car hate it. It was much harder to keep running when it was cold and hated the back pressure when decelerating. I drove it with them on for maybe 3 days and took them right back off.

Yes same problem what a difference the car loves going commando...........

My 416 went from 7.25 to 7.18 after I put a 3" X-pipe and flow 40 mufflers on. Had to add 8" long cherry bombs to mellow out the rasp from the flows. Sometimes a little backpressure is gooder.
Very nice looking hotrod!

I love it. I can do it anytime. I put a set of electric cutouts after the X-pipe.
I open them all the time. Scare the crap out of the wife all the time.
I use them at car shows. Run down the road with the exhaust closed. So
the cops leave me alone. Them as I pull in I open them. I sure noticed a
big differance at the track. You can just see them peeking out under the
door.

Scavenging. Its a good thing.
Very nice, you rattled the garage for sure! It sounds really good and I love the look. You should be proud. I hope that box falling off the shelf didn't scratch the paint LOL.

Forgive me if it is clear as day in your sig, I'm on the mobile; but ... What's under the hood?

A set of 16-20" collectors will help low end at the track off the headers

Yes you are correct .When I cuy the exhaust off I left about a foot of pipe at the end to give it some low end power
Thanks
Thanks

For what it's worth, my car runs with in a few hundredths with or without the exhaust (3 inch pipes with flowmasters that come out right behind the doors)... literally slowed from a 6.92 to a 6.94 in the 1/8 the day I tried it on back to back passes. Open headers were slightly faster, but that could have been because I dropped about 20 pounds of exhaust pipes off the car....you never know till you try it, but a good exhaust system should not slow you down much, if any.

If you get a chance check your jetting, I would bet you can up your size by at least 2 when your open headers...

That is a nice fish for sure just needs some tweaking... As a buddy told me a long time ago.. Any day you can go race your car and bring it back home not broken was a good day.
That is a nice clean car.. i don't know if I could make it into an all out race car... But it belongs to you
What tire is on that car? Is it a drag radial? I know from what I have played with that they like around 17psi of air and not a huge burnout. Good luck with it...
Oh and I would not do the SS springs with cal tracs... I would use there split mono leafs... If we where not so far apart I would trade you the Butterscotch 69 Dart I have for it.. It is the mid 7's car in my signature but is a race car. Just needs more motor..
