I'm no expert but i have been giving it some thought. Boost doesn't rely on scavenging to create VE so it could still be 100% stock header IMO. But, i honestly have no idea, just what the tinker-toy physics model in my brain tells me

Just trying to understand it

Thatruth has both a phantom and the 4 -2-1 header so we should see soon what they do together.

Nice, should be interesting results for sure. I have a feeling headers are not going to change results much for any supercharger due to what i was saying above. I certainly don't think they will help, but the percentage gains you get with boost will be lower than without... i think. But then again, if you were designing the header with boost in mind i think the tubing diameters would be a bit larger than all the current headers no?
