Preliminary results are in!
Just got back from Dale Hollow last night.
Sound is awesome, and much stronger than with factory cc open.
A seat-of-the-pants noticeable increase in mid-range acceleration.
I don't know the amount of speed increase, since I am now into the rev limiters at full throttle. Previously, full throttle was ~4950rpm. The rev limiters on a Gen 6 502efi are set at what, 5100?
I would estimate the increase in speed to be 2-4 mph.
I have 4-blade Bravo 24s, and obviously now need a bit more prop. I'm thinking that having these Bravos re-pitched to 25 would be enough? Don't want to buy a set of 26s unless I need to.

Irish,
You got rid of your CMI's?

I know I had a set of CMI's and had them for around 3500 a set and wish I woulda kept them. They are now around 4000-4500 a set plus tails. Thats if you want to keep the Captains Call. Its insane what CMI gets for headers. I would think they'd be better to sell on quanity not dollar amount and then to only have 3 distributors nothing like keeping the price fixed.
