Default Re: Length of header primaries

i have built a few sets of headers for street cars,stockers and chassis cars ,, in a stocker engine bay is very challenging to map out your equal lengths, but being careful not to create restrictions by trying achieve equal lengths ,i always try to plot out the smoothest paths with out to many bends and using bigger radius bends where i can , collector sizes are like camshaft choices, you can get close but to find that perfect combo dyno testing is key to getting the most out of the combo, but as you know there just isn't enough time to test everything
in my opinion you want to focus on what you can build for torque ,,most carbureted stocker engines are done making power between 6200-6700 ,, torque around 4500 -5000,,,
