Try KromerKraft in Girard, OH,...a suburb of Youngstown. Kromer has been building headers since the early 1990's for all sorts of NHRA class racecars.

There are many who will repeat this concept that headers don't mean anything on the time slip. It depends as always.

Had a decent set of headers we made then had a custom set made for the engine combo picked up several MPH and decent amount of ET back to back.

Friend of mine went from a set of box headers to burns stainless design and set of their collectors picked up good amount of ET and a few MPH.
They were told clocking the primary tubes was more important than equal length plus avoiding sharp/tight turns was also.



Depending on how far out to lunch your present set is you could pick up a lot!

Not my words, YOURS! Further, the right size primary tubes is EVERYTHING and many have tubes that are too big for optimum performance.

Billy, This forum will always be great as long as Ken is in charge. However with that being said, without you it will never be the same. Who's going to keep everyone in line?
You're kind of like the Sargent at Arms.
