looks pretty sweet

www.summitracing.com carries the headers now for $447
yeah headers are not worth it on a 3.8 either for an NA setup but with a procharger or nitrous they might be worth the investment.shooterm1 said:Headers (of any kind) have proven to give very little bang for the buck on this current group of Ford Module Motors.
That money is better spent elsewhere in my opinion .... a Tune and CAI for example.
cobra232 said:the 4.0 isn't a modular motor. it shares nothing with any other ford engine except heritage from the Cologne V6's
Modular V8's share alot of parts between displacements hence the modular name
You're right in the fact that the shorty headers are next to useless on the V6 and the V8, but the JBA long tube headers will give you around 35 extra horses. I don't know if there are any long tube headers for the V6 at least I haven’t seen any. So I don't know what kind of power they would give you.shooterm1 said:Sorry,,, I was being too inclusive by lumping the V8 AND the 6's together. I've also heard that the headers are next to useless on the V8's as well.

No, 35 from LT's on the V8. Sorry for the confusion. I stated that I don't know how much power you can achieve on the V6 because I've yet to see any numbers. In fact I've yet to see any LT's for the V6. Does anyone know if there are any?rygenstormlocke said:35 from LT's alone on a 6 banger is hard to imagine. Are you sure you don't mean in combination with a new exhaust system and a tune?

don't get a prochamber. they actually slow down exhaust velocity and cause a slight restriction compared to an X or H. the exhaust gasses enter the chamber and bounce around before they get squeezed back down to mid pipe diameter. this causes a high pressure area and alittle more back pressure than desired.Excepcion13 said:Wait a minute, that's me! Yes, I am pulling the trigger on some LT Headers, a MAC Prochamber, and MAC SS exhaust. Expensive, to be sure, but it should last longer than the car.... I will let everyone know how they perform as soon as I get them on, tuned, and dyno'd. After that, I will probably add some pulleys. I want to see how much RWHP I can get from my car before running Zex. I am shooting for 230-240... which puts me at about 265-275 at the flywheel...

this is why Chambered mufflers generally lag behind straight through Pack style mufflers in power production. you are better off with a MAC H-pipe
every test i have ever seen the prochamber laged behind all others in HP by about 3-7 hp
my friends 93 GT lost 6rwhp on a Dynojet when he swapped a prochamber in place of his bassani X. he quickly put the X back on and sold the prochamber
