Thats def not a centrifigul blower. It didn't seem to pull that hard up in the rpms, but then again it is 4th gear.
This is the first REAL dyno tuning session I did after getting my RNH (thanks Rick 91GT) Performance Dart combo in.
The Kenne Bell was pushing 6 psi. at this taping.
It's a 4th gear pull with the stock 2:73s. Power was 425/530 to the wheels.
CRANK UP THE VOLUME FOLKS!

Hey how do you like those headers? I'm going to be running those on my 347 due to ground clearance.
nice bro
Im surprised the KB didnt whine more though
The headers are nice. They're jet/ceramic coated and the only set of 1 3/4 that I could find.
They're actually manufactured for Anderson by Bassani.
They're a bit pricey though... <$500
My only complaints are that I've got one or two spots where the coating has chipped off and the bolts that they sent with the headers were too long. They bottomed out in my AFR heads.
We replaced the bolts with a set of ARP 12 point, round heads. One of these days, I'll swap those out with some slightly longer ones as I think that the ones that are in there now are about a 1/4 in too short for my taste.
Round head, 12 points are a MUST due to clearance issues. I still had to modify a box end wrench (grind it down) to get between the bolt head and the exhaust tube on a couple of ports.
I'd imagine that you could use an internal wrenching bolt of some sort (read: Allen head round bolt) but they're a bitch to get to if you don't have a lot of room in the engine bay.
I went with the 12 point because A) they were on hand and B) I still run air-conditioning and smog equipment.
I'd say that unless you NEED 1 3/4 and know it, to go with a set of 1 5/8 for that little bit of extra bolt to tube clearance.
Sounds badass...
If you can find someone to work over the collector a bit (without ruining it), I doubt that you'd loose as much as 20 HP.
In other words, the additonal work in that area would reduce the loss you expect from running shorties.
Bare in mind though, header studs are pretty much out of the question (I only mention that because of the HP level you're shooting for).
