Default Re: DIV 3 Header Test

Thanks for the interest and the response guys. In a nutshell, we build all of headers for YOUR personal combination. Say your R&M 565 versus your SS(smurf) 565. We all know they each take a different approach to making the same power. I would not build the same header for these two different builders. There are a few things to keep in mind. Do I run more eighth mile or quarter mile? Do I live in Denver or race mostly at Atco?? Again, I would not build the same header for these different places when racing. Our Super Comp header is totally different from our Top Sportsman header. The point is, in this day and age, we now have engines that are specifically built for purpose racing. So why put the same header on all different combinations. We do not want to be a manufacturer of one type of header. We are interested in making power in different combinations. Our 565 headers are totally different from our 632 Top Dragster headers because of the amount of power and the torque numbers.

Our price may seem expensive to some racers at $1895.00. Bottom line, where else can you buy a 10th and bolt it on the car?? It has been proven at two different race tracks and we are looking to do it even more. Now the big question, can I test them?? We have worked on this type of horsepower here in our shop for over a year. Just putting them in a box and shipping them some place for people to test is tough. We have to make a living here like any other place in business. Giving away technology is something we can not afford. We have to get paid like your engine builder or your carb guy.

Do I wish I could go to a few tracks and test with people" HECK YES"!!!! Truth is, I have a full time job and build headers every night, except Sunday. We have 4 sets going out right now. We are still doing NASCAR work and doing some sets that are going overseas as well. As far as traveling, its tough because of fuel cost of course. So as a racer and a guy who likes to make horsepower, here is a suggestion.

When you go to your next divisional race, let us know the location. Tell me the cubic inch, and I will work with you on the price for testing. Your time is worth something as well. When the car picks up at least a tenth, then you need to come back to this thread, and let them know. Report the quality of welds, the general fitment and the looks of the headers on your car. After that, it will begin to work itself out.......

To participate in another test, email or call me....
