Headers???!!!!!!

#1 Post by 427belair » Fri Aug 27, 2010 8:17 pm

I have convinced myself that I am killing a ton of power with my current Hooker 2"x3.5" collector headers. The motor is a 555" BBC in a 3200 lbs nova with a stock front end, also I will be playing with around a 200 shot next year, so 1000hp +/- total. What do you guys think, are they ok or am I losing 25+hp? If so how big do I really need?

Who's headers are you guys running? Has anyone on here made their own headers?

Thanks in advance Jason.

Lemon's - they fit very good on Nova's and have great spark plug access. Not cheap though.

Lemon's or Headman Hustler both have fit perfect for us.

I run the headman hustler 2 1/4X4 on 555 on a 67 camaro (might be the same part number) and they fit great but minimal spark plug clearance, I have to run shorty plugs.
