Tri Y vs. Conventional Header....

Wade_Owens · 03-23-2012, 04:26 PM

Has anyone seen any advantage with a Tri Y over a Standard header in a stocker setup, WITH THE SAME CAM? I run a modified set of Lemon's Headers and want to explore a little on the topic. I know some have shown better numbers after a cam swap, but it seems to take several tries to make a small gain. Not dis-satisfied with what I have, just pecking......

Wade,
I wouldn't be dis-satisfied with the way your car runs either. I was at Indy last year when you were running class and I swear the headers were spitting HP.

Wade get in touch with Bill Grubb, he had those tri-y's on Brenda's car when it had the small block program. He'll tell you straight. I have a set on my stick car but, haven't been out yet. Jury's out........

Flowmaster's 4-2-1 Scavenger collectors were worth 8 hundreths on my 468 BBC running a 1 3/4" primary tube header.
