That's true man we could... I think the key is to have as little turbulance as possible but then again at your power-level who cares

Suman, I also feel that the collector is the most important part of header!
Will you be attending The Texas Mile with that beast.

I think the deal on Turbo headers is;
1. Get it to the turbo's as fast as possible (lag).
2. Try to accelerate the gases right at the impeller wheels (merge collector).
3. Thou shalt not create back pressure.

And that pretty much covers it. If you can put something together and verify it on a dyno then aesthetics and esoteric maths just don't count.

Just a quick question I have though is why not do some heat coating on that stuff? Out of curiosity you know?

Oh, and another quick question while I'm at it; with the 3.8 litre do you have problems with anchoring the case sides as in the old air cooled days?

Suman cant wait as you know. I basically text him everyday.

I had a very interesting conversation with Scott at Softronic yesterday and he mentioned a few things. Call me tommorrow.

Good luck and lets get that beast on the road.
