To keep 440-1 top end or not

I have run the hookers with stage 2 heads, stage 6 heads and now the indys. Stage 2, had to clearance the top side of the passenger header to get the valve cover off. Cast aluminium 4 bolt covers and factory cross ram. Stage 6 needed a little more clearance above the collectors. Cast mopar performance covers,drivers side was hard to get past the master cylinder. Indys hit master and seemed like everywhere else. Then I dropped the k and all was good. Wrap the headers near the master. Local track requires muffs so 4" Hooker Aero chambers are hung off the collectors. Works good for me.
