We get a couple months in summer in Florida to do the projects/upgrades on your car getting ready for the "season" to start again in September. I've got one such idea I'd like to hear some input on.
The basics: the avatar is a street/strip car that has run a best of 11.10@119+ mph. Guesstimated 3350#'s at the line. 408 engine, 4.10 gear. Footbrake car staged at 2000 rpm that then flashes to 5000 rpm when the loud pedal is mashed. Shift at 6150-ish that crosses the stripe at 6150-6200. Engine has 1-3/4" Hooker Super Comp headers that have 3-1/2" collectors.
Does anyone run torque tubes attached to their headers? I could go 3" or 3-1/2" x whatever length. 12" or 18" or ?? I'm just not sure with the 5000 rpm launch if they would help or hurt.
Interested to hear of anyone's experience or what they run and why. Thx!!
