They are brand new so the stats aren't out there yet.
But....all longs tubes perform simularly. So I would bet that the results would be in the average.

If you want all out straight line performance then a good 3500-3800 stall will give you double of what headers will at the track.

Look at my sig with stock manifolds on a stock motor.

Pacesetters are good, and very popular.

A4's can get gains of a half second w/a converter. No header will give you that.

Anywhere from 15-40 depending on application. Those are long tube numbers. Shorties will never give you that much and I am not starting a midlegnth vs long tube argument again.

Long tubes are generally all about the same.
