Question FS Breathing Capabilities

just thinking on-line right now, but has any one flow tested an FS head to see how well it performs? it seems to me that with the addition of an intake and exhaust should get this motor going, but report tend to make be believe they add minimal (if any) gains. also, talk has it that conventional headers don't really add that much either, which seems contrary to popular belief as to what they should do.

thoughts? am i totally off my rocker?

since the suspension is so good, maybe i'll have to hold onto this car, wait out the warranty, strip the engine and build it up good! now what did i do with my rich aunt's phone number...

According to Racing Beat, the best bolt-on gains they came accross during their MP3 development were with headers. Where are you getting the idea that headers don't provide any gains on the FP/FS engine?

I wasn't trying to say that. I just wondered if you had any decent sources showing that headers don't gain much. Hopefully I have some idea myself soon since I just received my Bosal header yesterday. So much to install, so little time...

Your actually waiting until you turn 21? I pretty much stopped drinking after that. Got tired of the hang overs.

I did most of my damage from 16 to 18. We never had much trouble finding places to buy from. It didn't take me long after the first time I over did it to figure out it wasn't worth it. Chasing women was more fun anyway.

so, does beer consumption increase with increased engine performance? or is it the other way around, that engine performance increases with increased beer consumption?

no beer:
my car can do the 1/4 in 15.89 seconds!

first beer:
my car can do the 1/4 in 14.5 seconds!

fifth beer:
mwy ker kin dew da courter in 5 sekinds!!

tenth beer:
werd my car go!
