Re: Something funny happened yesterday...

Ha ha LHM. I've accomplished all 3 of them. I drive around my house on a dirt road that turns into a paved road. I got the tires spinning pretty good on the dirt and just hammered it when I hit the pavement. It certainly spins up those 3.08's better than the wimpy 6 cylinder I pulled. Left a nice long streak. As for the headers I'm using, they're ceramic coated from Summit Racing. You can't beat ceramic coated. Within 10-15 min of shutting off the engine you can hold your hand on them. Plus, they won't rust out. The only bad thing about them is during the coating process, they slopped on a little excess coating on the flanges. Couple minutes with the sander and they sealed up nice and tight. No leaks. I'm using manifold gaskets with them too. They seem to work the best. As for running around with open headers, sure it's neat for about the first 30 seconds after you crank it up. But when you drive it around it'll darn near rattle the teeth outta your skull!
