    Headers

     



    Well, call it my first mistake. I ordered the 1 1/2" Summit "Budget" full length headers for the C 10 pickup...be here tomorrow.

    Summit SUM-G9006

    Believe it or not I have the "Cheezy" shorty headers on my 63 Nova so I could keep my stock column shift and they actually work pretty good.

    "they actually work pretty good."

    No they don't, you just don't know the difference.

    Headers

     



    So everything on the Sanderson website is a lie? Or for a medium motor in a tight engine compartment, they would tons better than using exhaust manifolds.
    I have a 350 with flat-top pistons, 76cc, 1.94/150 heads, roller rockers, Edelbrock performer intake with an Edlebrock 750 using a comp cams 12-242-2(XE268H). How much horsepower difference would long tube headers make as opposed to the Sanderson headers below 5500 RPM? My guess would be not enough to have to cut a hole in the floor in all original Nova to accomodate a floor shifter.
