Cheap *** headers at it again!!
didn't ya hear? dan dan the minivan man took bigger dumps in a ford when he was 12, helped his dad replace the toilet and then took a dump in there too, then he took a dump on top of a dump before taking a dump on many a lawnmower-- all this before he was 15!
dan's probably done more dumps than most of the guys on here.
minvan dan might not laydown perfectly coiled dumps, and he'd be the first to admit it. and he may lack the dumping experience many of us have, but he's assured us that he knows that he's taken dumps so big growing up that most of us probably couldn't handle 'em. and that's not to put us down, he's stating that as a fact.
And did all his early research while doing so too. Book after book, all that time sitting was not wasted, he was multitasking..... he's a smart cookie.
Speaking of Minivans.
On a side note. An old episode of roadkill, roadkill garage or whatever Monsoon was on than other day. Twin turbo Minivan was slow because of install problems but cool. Pipes all the way to back doors, and intercooler by the big side door in middle. Open side door for cooler air. I bet it would have been fast after refined and bugs worked out. You can say show is dumb etc. But they do come up with some great out of the ordinary ideas for things that would normally be passed over.
My wife really laughs out loud at the silly stuff they do on all the shows. Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, and even Engine Masters. Engine Masters is her least favourite of the 3.
It's entertainment, with some cool car stuff, and better than most other crap on TV.
The one where thet beat the headers to crap showed what most say here.
Most here have no real use for headers. Power and toqure are below need. So are not affected by a bash here or there and could do fine with just stock manifolds or ported 340 ones.
Many years ago, 1st married we needed a driver for Crystal. So the 1971 Challenger it was since we had it. Pulled big carb, cam, headers, put smaller one side up from stock cam, AFB on duel plane, ported old 68_1971 340 manifolds, and A/C back on. Car ran well, good mileage, and was faster than was needed 99.9% of the time driven.
And gears could be swapped to 276 in no time when ya young and strong. Could be used on those extra long trips car ran like any other on the hwy.
Clearly a case of less is more.
These were cars people used. 200 miles one way for a driver should be nothing or leave it where it sits.
