sweet header!!!!

I also think a torque increasing header is a great idea....the high flow exhaust and intake will increase top end power.....the ideal powerband for racing (track) is 4500-7000 or so....unless you need 2nd gear, then it would be 7400 (redline)...

It looks like I will use 3-4-5 (maybe) at my home track, Thunderhill in Willows CA...I think 2nd is a bit too low, since the slowest corners are 40-45mph, and followed by turns...so you would have to short shift, or redline shift at the apex (not a good idea)

My current race car performs quite well, due to its high low end torque.....it provides a significant advantage getting off the corners....
