Re: Attempt/Mistake #2

The entire valvetrain is from Comp Cams. I bought the entire matched roller cam, lifters, springs, keepers, timing chain, thrust button that they recommended and they were assembled at Competion Products. I had wondered about the header size too. I will try the new to me Hookers that I just got since I have them and see if I notice any improvement and will keep eyes out for an even bigger set. Would compression make a difference as to necessary header size? Is it an alcohol dragster or gas. If you have really high compression like 14:1 or so then does that make you need bigger headers? I wonder if I could fit big tube headers in to the frame ?
I found this article which is quite interesting!!
