well you've been asking here for 4 years, good to hear that NOW you know what you want. Now the question is did you save your pennies in that time to afford them.

As you can see, I'm committed with the collector. We had to get creative and weld them on.

I know what I want regarding looks and money is not the issue.

I had a set on order in 2020 from one of the best there is, then he decided to get out of the business for (very good) personal reasons. I was supposed to have a set built last winter 2023 by Elston and I received my car back from the chassis shop 6 months LATE getting a new cage in, by then he was closed.

The biggest thing is finding someone close to home. Unfortunately, I only have limited vacation days.......lol Also in the 5 years I've owned this car, I've been burnt on some of the supposed-to-be miracle parts, as I'm sure you've experienced.

So there are my excuses...lol

fair enough and there are numerous chassis shops in your backyard that can build you headers.

Jere Stahl didn't know that 20 years ago. We had a 1 hour conversation one night about my car and he couldn't wrap his head around the fact that my 468 in my 3900 lb. Chevelle made the power it did and ran the ET/MPH it did with 1 3/4" primary tubes!

There ya go Ground Strap always negative... LOL

Taking my statement out of context is funny as hell!
My question to you is "have you ever had an original idea".

My own header program believe it or not was engineered in collaboration with Jere Stahl establishing new design concepts contrary to current accepted.
Also received some advice from "Exhausted" which also showed and improvement when tested on the dyno.

Hi Chad,
Very nice looking headers.

Do you know how they compare to what Larry says to use in PipeMax?

I used PipeMax 4.0.. It wanted 27.86-30.36 length at 1.84/1.967 for a 2 step. It wanted a 15" OAL megaphone w/2.750choke and 3.50 out.

I put exactly what it said for a collector on it. But I could only get a 26" primary in the car.

Also, on both my children's right arms, it 100% NAILED HP. But it was off 5ft/lbs of torque. 100% the truth.
