Also does that chick in your avatar lack a thong? My moniter says yes, but it is probably older than me...

My stock 1/4 was a whopping 16.8 @ 81.
I am guessing high15-low16 w/ my current mods (cat-back/intake/cams/header).
My 'butt-dyno' tells me the header makes the greatest gain (of the mods listed above).
Thank you, drive through!

High 15's??? Maybe Jesse can help out here, but I'm almost inclined to raise the flag. With an empty tank, no spare tire and no wind on a relatively warm day I bested a 16.99 at 79.3 MPH.
How in the hell you're a second faster with basically the same **** beats me. Must me the altitude up here... (4,000' ASL.)

Re: Altitude
Altitude does make a difference.
At sea level: 29.92 in. Hg
14.7 PSI
130 HP
At 4000 feet elevation: 25.84 in.Hg
12.7 PSI
112 HP ~
The HP figures are for normally aspirated 2.0 liter engines, of course.

Re: Altitude Again
Sorry, I should have included this in my previous post.
Go to www.slowgt.com
Click on Racer's Math and then Basic Altitude Versus Horsepower Calculator
This will enable you to determine decrease in horsepower output due to reduction in air pressure at various elevations above sea level.

The long tube headers were really not worth the expense and effort, but I wouldn't say they were useless. I think the true value of the headers have yet to be found. As power levels increase, the headers will show their true worth.
