Jere Stahl told me once that headers had about 5% to do with total drag car performance. If he is correct, I would think header material would be some fraction of that.

This is a good thread!

Jim: We are going to see if we can find Mark at Sportsnls. next week....we need 3 sets ourselves....maybe if he builds a bunch at once we can get a little bit of a deal. I have a couple of step design we have been using that work well. Racer7411@yahoo.com

This is pretty old (2003), but a good SpeedTalk interview with Mark.

I am not sure what these sell for these days.

Jim; I know Mark vary well, just in the last couple of weeks I watched him make new headers for George W. John Shawl and a set for Brad Van Lant to test for A-body cars. You Know these guys are vary fast.

I have spoken to Mark twice now and I believe he can build me a good set of headers. He told me he took his small block Mopar Stocker out this past weekend and had a great time. He is very easy to talk to and I can't wait to receive my new SS headers! I will keep everybody up to date on the progress. Jim
