dragster headers???

This was when Tommy Papp was alive. We had a guy who was trying this and that, blah blah blah. Long story short, boat wouldn't air out.

We told him to try different headers. I had a set of short twisty headers. Swapped them out and he picked up ET and all of a sudden the boat reacted to set up changes. He ditched the Borlas immediately.

And yes ... I'm serious.

But what does a guy who doesn't race anymore know lol

Another note ... I'm seeing two different set ups here. The Borla headers where never intended for boats. They were designed for Super Comp dragsters. The Rewarders were designed for boats, but still create downforce. If it works for you ... cool. But most of us are trying to reduce drag, not increase it.

If you don't think there is down force, you have another thing coming. Just put your hand behind the header at idle & you'll feel how much exhaust volume is coming out on the trailer. Think of that on water under full throttle.

Where can i find a snoot like that for a 2 four barrel set up.

Interesting. Makes sense..

I'm sure going from a totally flat collector to a what 7 degree upswept would have minimal increase on downforce.

WOW. This will make Wings useless. If you have a wing sell it now. It is cheaper to run headers then mess with a wing.

ok guys ... good luck.

I must be on crack. I see all the guys in UBFJ running upswept headers because they work so well. Hahaha

Have fun out there!!!
