Preference for a turbo setup
 

I was talking with the guy who will be doing the headers for my turbo and he posed this question:

Would you prefer tubular headers or log manifolds?

A well made log header will make craploads of power, but of course, the tubular headers look better. I would say on these cars, there would be a fitment advantage to run tubular headers(which you can snake around steering columns and whatnot) over a log. It would also be cheaper to run a log over tubular headers as well.

I only ask this because he would be interested in working on either a turbo header or manifold for LT1s. He does a lot of Mustang & import turbos and does real good work. This would be several months off as well. Probably wouldn't get worked on till after my setup is complete(January/February).

Just curious.

tubular.

Tubular in my vote....

I'd go Tubular. Are you having Bi-State do your set-up?

Having had a log, I don't ever want one again. I'm going tubular this time. Equal length.

whatever is easier to package imo

a properly sized log will make a boatload of power

if you would like a nice design look at harlan's

hell i'll find it and post it back here

anyone have pictures handy of their setup, esp. log manifold, i'm not sure if ive ever gotten a good look at what you mean

Yup, Ron's doing my setup. Haven't decided whether to go with a solo or dueces. We'll have to get a good luck at the car on the lift.

The log wouldn't be anything like what Turbo Tech had. I haven't seen Harlan's yet though. I'll do some searching on LS1Tech.

Now you want a turbo... lets worry about the foundation first

Loooooog....Loooooog..... Its bettter then bad, its Good.....

i dont think it is like turbotech's at all.....

I found some pictures or it, but it actually looked like stock manifold. :shrug:

The Turbo Tech log looks terrible. I think I've got a picture of it saved somewhere. Actually, I think it was off Bill's car.

Geez thanks!! I no longer have that stuff anymore, thank God!

:lol: I was just amazed that the kit went out with a log looking like that.
