Re: Gains from racing headers

[Christopher Taylor <chtaylo4@vt.edu>]

I heard that in drag racing (not that I approve of it...autox rules!), 100
pounds cut off your car translates into .1 seconds off your time.  A header
is supposedly almost that much lighter than a downpipe/manifold combo, which
gives you that .1 time in drag.  Plus, you do get like 2-3 more ontop of
that from the better flow, but after measuring all of the down-sides to
them, I'll never touch one.  

Drag racing is for people who don't know how to steer.
