Mine have the manifold heat provision. They were a PITA with the clutch linkage. I also had to notch the "strut" going to the bell housing.

Speed bumps can bump them.

I did a H pipe. X doesn't make sense in the $$ per HP equation.

The flange is thinner than the intake so ye have to compensate for that.

On the street? Dutras would probably out do them.

More "WOW" factor with headers. I had not heard of Dutras when I bought my Hookers. I got them used for $125. Also got the MP 6 into 1's. They weren't clutch friendly at all! Probably better for the street than the Hookers.

Motor has 2.2 flat top pistons,K1 rods, with the heavy cast crank, homemade windage tray, deep oil pan, 9.8 is static c.r., 264 comp cam, 1.6 rockers, stainless valves,1.70 1.44 polish ported head. Its running 5 lb boost, Im running Mega Squirt, 51 lb injectors, crank trigger, wasted spark ignition, meth injection, intercooled. Car runs really good since I went with the Mega Squirt controlling the ignition, have not had it on a dyno but seat of the pants feels like the 340s I had back in the day, but sounds like a rice burner when you got your foot to the floor. If I had to put a number on it l would say 250 at the crank. Car is driven daily 20 miles plus running around on week ends and gets 17-18 MPG, its 3300lb 4speed od, 4.10 gear, let me know if you need any other specs
Thanks much. You've done a bunch of work and it sure sounds like it paid off. Boost-wise, what do you feeel you can safely go to without O-ringing the head, etc.?

Im not sure, now with 5 lb boost the comprssion calculator says 11.0 cr going to 10 lb is over 13.5 cr and probaly the limit of a stock head gasket. Go to the nitrous boost forum and ask I know some guys are running lots of boost and should be able to say when a stock head gasket fails
