340 HP's vs headers

you can always go the hedman tight tube route , cheap , easy to install , no problems getting the starter or plugs , and make good power . I have them on my 70 340 and car runs faster than with the old hooker headers . Hardest part wart routing form collectors to exhaust . Hve yet to bottom out and mine are routed ubder the steering . There are oics in other threads , also txstang has them routed above steering so really good clearance .
Of course mine is a mild build 413 hp 398 torque , so headers help over manifolds .

This is an interesting option which I'd like to know more about. Does anyone else have any insight on the tight tube headers? My setup is currently a stock 318 with a Holley 600 vac on and Performer intake & 2 1/4" dual pipes. Cam is going in this summer & looks like it will be 224/230 @ .050 w/ .477/.480 or 218/224 @ .050 w/ .462/.470. looking to reach somewhere around 280-300hp range nothing radical. I do have power power steering will that make a difference in what will fit? Will I still need to change to the mini starter for clearance?
