This has more than likely already been discussed but after watching an episode of Engine Masters where Steve Brule (at Westek in California) is the dyno master confirmed that wrapped headers produced about 5 HP more with wrapped headers than non wrapped. The belief was that the scavenging effect was better due to temperature differences than non-wrapped headers. The theory may or may not be correct ...but what cannot be argued is the DYNO DOES NOT LIE! I find these things interesting but unfortunately never had the money to drag race nor did I ever live real close to a drag strip so I had to decide if paying bills and a house payment was more important ....or having a drag car. Now that I can afford it all the drag strips have disappeared! Just my luck...... Nevertheless I am interested in your thoughts on this as I have my headers wrapped in my 72 Duster....This leaves it wide open ...throw it at me.
