looking for headers for my 340 stroker . i currently have hooker 1 5/8s how much will these hurt output of my new build was looking for other options besides tti , the car is mainly for street use and the strip once in a while
Of course, everything is in the combo. What is yours?IQ52;
Yep, we ran the TTI headers and Summit Racing $136 headers on the dyno. The TTI headers averaged one horsepower more than the Summit headers from 3000-6000 rpm and, if I remember correctly, the TTI headers made 10 horsepower more @ 6,300 rpm. And we only had to pay $526 more for the TTI headers.
It's over 400 ci, I would go 1 7/8 minimum regardless of use, on the advice of my engine builder.
who makes 1 7/8 headers and how much ,i know this sounds dumb but do not want to spend 700 $ for 10hp
Look to Hedman.
Yes, headers are expensive, at least the kind of headers where you actually make power from. Real headers cost money. Custom headers should out perform OOTB headers and will cost 3X's the price easy of those expensive $700 headers you want to avoid.
The best header for you and the compromise are tti headers into a 3 inch exhaust.
It will perform well.
