merge collectors???

There is no definitive answer to this question. Whether or not you can gain from a merge collector depends on a large number of factors, each combination is as individual as the person who owns it. It is impossible to say for certain if merge collectors will help a combination without knowing nearly every individual part involved in the combination. And then if you change one or more of those parts, you start all over again.

Call Mark at Performance Welding. He will tell you straight out if he thinks it will hurt or help your combo. He builds and sells them, but, has also told people what they have is sufficient.

X2 on Mark... he has the benefit of doing a fair amount of back-to-back dyno testing of his headers, tons of variations on complicated eliminator V8's. He also does an outstanding job of custom header fabrication, the stainless stepped header he made for my car is over-the-top

the only real way to find out if the merg collectors are a gain or loss is the dyno,,this wil give you that info but you cant take the dyno for a pass down the track ,,,i picked up just a 2-3 hundreths by adding them but i also built a set of step headers as well ,,lots of laps is the only way to realy see a consistant gain or loss gmonde
