    long tube headers?

    I have a cracked header now, I was thinking of getting long tubes and an X pipe instead of the H I have now. Any thoughts

    The longtubes will kill your N/A low end. You'll feel a difference up top though, and it will sound badass.

    The motor is great! I haven’t had it on the rollers but should do good. Its Trick Flow TW heads, Track heat intake w/ 1" spacer, Steeda #18 cam, rollers, 24# injectors 70 TB, 76 mil MAFS, MSD, and stock rotating assembly.

    If I can get house and work projects done and devote a day to it, I should get her to the track.

    I have been out of the 5 liter game awhile, but what does the intake spacer have to do with the headers?

    $125 for the headers i also have 94-95 ported cobra intake and 1" spacer, steeda #19 cam designed for the 94-95 computer; 24# injectors and a set of power heads if interested (www.powerheads.com) this combo made an awesome street motor...

    PS. there is a fitting on # 3 tube that connects to the egr valve that was extended 1" because of the spacer

    The #19 cam is like the #18 with a wider lob seperation for the 94-95 computer.

    Here's the comparison I refered to earlier. The 304rwhp is my graph and I run FMS shorty unequal lengths, the other is another stangnet member's car. Its not a back to back on the same car, but these are the results I've always seen when comparing shorties to longtubes.

    I was doing a bit of research and I stumbled upon these combos

    Thought ya'll might like to S E E something I've been saying :D

    These FTI AFR Edel combos are very similar EXCEPT for the headers

    Now Mr. C likes to keep his specs on the QT ;)
    but
    I'm sure I won't be doing anything wrong when I say I've seen others :)

    True ... they are all different
    but
    They don't seem to be that much different

    IMHO ... I feel the difference you see between these two combos
    Its mostly due the the header choice ;)

    If you got Q's or comments :shrug: ... feel to let em rip :rlaugh:

    Here is the hard data :D



    Here they are! ... Side by Side :D
