Matt, how much of "looking nice" equates to fast..... spend your money wisely and do it right the first time my friend.

Joe ,
I do not make it a habit of calling someone out. Have you seen the list of Calvin's customers?

Bill, I have a set of Elston headers on my car since 2009 and very happy with the performance and workmanship. Matt knows what I have and it was my way of encouraging him to get a set. Matt and I talk weekly about performance but I can't speak for him.

Joe,
My humble apologies. It sounded as if you were calling Calvin's work a "show" piece, not a "go" piece.

Once again, I apologize.

Bill

Bill, no problem. I re-read my post and it could read that way. Sometimes we do things 2 and 3 times before we spend the extra money to get it right. Lots of experienced racers have helped me do it right the "next time" and I try to do the same for guys who are trying to improve.

On the funny side Elston headers not only work but the workmanship is incredible (Look Nice, lol)

Joe, I spoke to Calvin last year, plan on having him build me headers over the winter. How long did he have your car?

I was one of the lucky ones, he never needed my car. I guess he had a jig for the 69-72 Nova and just sent them to me when he was done. I know others who had to bring the car, mine fit perfectly, no muss no fuss.
