With Hotcam Kit and no headers got me @ 290rwhp, and that's pretty low. I know I needed headers too but they are expensive, but I broke down and bought a nice set of Longtube headers from Dynatech with collectors ceramic coated.


I'm hitting the dyno soon hopefully to reach the 350 mark....


Got them installed and WHOA feels like a beast! Sounds incredible, Before the headers with the cam it sounded like a monster, now it's purrs and it's a little quieter and I really like it.

Until I step on it then it comes alive! Man I can't stress how much better the car is with headers! I've got the low end power I've been looking for and it doesn't seem so sluggish (A4)....

 

cool, I can't wait to get my headers and cam

 

headers make a big difference over the stock manifolds as you can see.I hope you see the hp numbers you want to see. good luck

 

Zpaul is a lying crook!!!! Shall you rot in hell!!

 

I'M LOOKING TO PUT THE SAME HEARS ON MY 97. WONDERING DID YOU USE A "OFFROAD" Y-PIPE OR LEAVE THE CATS OFF? I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT WITH NO CAT THE EXHAUST WILL BE MUCH LOUDER ???

 

I had a custom 3" Y-Pipe for the Lontubes and have no cats. It's quiter than what it was with the cat and no headers with the cam. I highly recommend these headers. They have good clearance which is what I need after a 2inch drop

 

Yo:
Thanks for that info! I wonder if these's installer are just trying to pick up some extra $$ ? I hear the DYNOTECHS don't heat up the A/C box like the HOOKER & SLP's? Which means you don't need the "heat" mat on the heater/ AC box?
