Well said Bill and I do understand your point. I am looking for maximum hp from whatever header I choose. Headers are very expensive now, that has become painfully obvious to me as of late. The reason I asked about Performance Welding is because George Widuch uses them and recommended them to me. As you may know he built my car as well as all of Jerry Bennett's cars. I called Mark Leichook at PW and he told me he owns the 340 Dodge that Wann drives and I think he is very much in tune with all that George has taught me. The mild steel headers on the car were made by Don Chromer many years ago and the only thing holding them together was the Nitroplate coating!

Jeff, Mark told me you are correct, SS headers make more HP because of the way the exhaust pulsing reacts to it. He said they don't get many requests for mild steel tubing anymore. There must be a reason why all the Pro Stock and Comp guys run nothing but SS headers.

Ron, I ran Jere Stahl's headers on my SS car many, many years ago. They are a high quality header also.I still have them. Jim
