    HUGE PROBLEMS!!! Need Advice and HELP!!!!

    Header Wrap

    O.K. cool but, I have long tubes does that change anything I wonder? I have seen some DEI wrap at the local parts store and wondered if it would be alright for my headers, which are fairly cheap also, plain jain hookers I think. Can you tell a difference in under hood heat?

    Header Wrap

    I wonder why most header wrap info says it will void header warranties. Does it affect the headers that much? Or is it just a liability out for the manufacturer.

    3.55 vs.3.73?

    I love my 3.73's but anything is probably better than the 2.73 wagon wheel it replaced. either gear is gonna feel like a kick in the butt. my rpm in 5th really didnt change much, makes the most difference from 1st to 4th in my opinion.
