Mat , I believe Performance Welding ( Mark Lelchook ) makes a set for your application ; as you are probably aware , many premium header companys want your car and do not offer ready made pieces so they are worth exploring.

Calvin Elston @ Elston Headers picked our car up .13 with just a bolt on (255/350 ). On our bbc it was 15 Hp and 13 ft-lbs avg over Arnold Greene's headers.

We put the SBC headers on for a heads up run knowing we were out powered, but had nothing to lose. Won the rnd over a car that had us by .3. The other competitor now has a set of Calvin's headers. On the bbc headers... Arnold bought two sets one 427 and one 396.

Matt, how much of "looking nice" equates to fast..... spend your money wisely and do it right the first time my friend.

Joe ,
I do not make it a habit of calling someone out. Have you seen the list of Calvin's customers?

Bill, I have a set of Elston headers on my car since 2009 and very happy with the performance and workmanship. Matt knows what I have and it was my way of encouraging him to get a set. Matt and I talk weekly about performance but I can't speak for him.

Bill Grubbs · 09-02-2013, 09:33 AM

Joe,
My humble apologies. It sounded as if you were calling Calvin's work a "show" piece, not a "go" piece.

Once again, I apologize.

Bill
