Or hell send me a rental I will gladly pay the dyno time and see how it compares! I genially mean that. I hope the product does well and works as a great cheap market header, as there is a current lack of proven low priced headers. I will gladly pay for dyno time of your stage 1 oem header vs stage 2 aftermarket header on a local dyno and or tune it my self to see the obtainable gains from your header! Please PM me and or call me as you have my number and I will gladly work things out!
I don't understand what your complaint is. We compared our new UEL header with both the stock header and an EL header on the same car, same dyno, similar conditions. Stock car with tune only goes from ~171->180whp on 91oct. Add UEL header and flash appropriate tune, power goes up to just over 190. Add E85 and flash appropriate tune and power goes to over 200whp.

In fact, our header-only car running E85 made nearly identical power as a full bolt-on car running a rather well known (and twice as expensive) header and E85. Midrange dip gone too. Same dyno. Nearly identical tune.

From my perspective, you have come to a conclusion without fully understanding the data provided.

Stock
Stage 1 (OFT only)
Stage 2 (OFT + OpenFlash Header)
91oct


Stage 2 (OFT+OpenFlash Header) on 91
Stage 2 (OFT+OpenFlash Header) on E85
