Headers look like "money" because they cost you "money" and lots of "money headaches" down the road.

I still think we need to do an exhaust shootout on a N/A 700hp build. That seems to be the norm these days. 15 years ago, 550-600hp was the goals. What worked then, may not work now.

Maybe we can round up some exhaust, to try on Full Force's 540. We have his Stainless Marines. Vintage Chromoly offered up his Lightning headers for testing. Be cool to see some thunder & lightnings tested, and maybe some CMI big tubes, on a combo like this.

If you guys do an exhaust shoot out, and they are not on my boat yet, I can send a set of Thunder and Lightning's to test.

Raylar's testing was all done in the 496 HO engine

That would work, since you are local . I can always meet up with ya before hand and get them, and bring them home after. Im sure nobodys gonna wanna ship exhaust around. Not to mention, the chances of them getting damaged in transit the way our carriers are these days

Let me know when you guys plan to dyno. If I can just give them to you, that would be the best!
