Got mine as well...its going on this weekend.

 

Will one of you guys that got Andy's header PLEASE dyno your engine b4 and after, if possible? Be nice to know what numbers it's pulling. If no numbers, a butt dyno report.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Matt's posted some already. No, I don't have one.

 

glad you guys finaly got your stuff.

 

i already have mine on and my car hasn't been dyno'd so i can't get you a before and after, however, i can tell you my car was running at 16.47 (best time) in the quarter mile, and I should be running it at the track again tomorrow evening, so i'll let you know how that goes if you want..

 

very nice...THAT is a better indicator of what power you're making. Your dyno could show a 50hp ioncrease but how well does it translate at the track!

 

oops, sorry guys, my best time was not 16.47 it was 16.48 (@ 83.72mph) .. i must have typed it in too quick and didn't realize it.. but either way, i'm happy with the 16.48 (for now) and hope the wagner header shaves a tad more off of that number!!

I'll keep you updated!!

(ps: that's on stock tires/wheels, interior, etc.. just as my car is on the street).

 

Matt's right.

Kewl, thx.

 

okay guys, here's my times from tonight:

16.08 @ 85.29 MPH (2.303 60')
16.09 @ 85.38 MPH (2.325 60')

so i'm loving the new header!! I have a feeling if I would have stayed a bit longer, when the temp dropped outside (it was mid 80s when I got there) I could have broken into 15s??

 

Damn!! very nice! You are now officially faster than me! and....now officially on my **** list!

Yeah 15's are just a cool night away. You could do what I did and put a pair of baby spares on the rear and drop another 10th right there.

 

hahaha.. okay, then i'm proud to be on your **** list

 

aarrgghh!!

Get him Miller!!

 

I still haven't installed the header but I was wondering should we use some type of anti-seeze to protect and for all of you that still don't know the torque specs here they are:

19-28 N*m for the top manifold bolts

19-28 for the precat bolts

 

yeah, antie seize is always great but if you use it make sure to check the bolt tightness after a few hundred miles to make sure they dont back off any.

 

If you use anti-seize, try to get nickel based stuff; the standard copper/silver stuff that Permatex sells thru. parts stores is good for about 1600 deg. F (not sure if that's peak or continuous - I'd imagine it's a thermal peak value instead of sustained temp).

Plus, the nickel based stuff plays much better with stainless steel.

Get this if you can: http://www.permatex.com/products/ind...ze%20Lubricant

 

BTW, 19-28 N*m is about 10.3 - 20.7 lb/ft

Hell of a range if you ask me though; easy on them studs kids!
