This was the best compromise that I could provide for the various 351 derivatives.

They are pretty close to your program numbers.

But of course not optimal.
hello richard

i had no doubt that the headers were optimally designed. through the rpm band there is a point where the exhaust gets to be almost like a f1 shreek, even with ear plugs it is ear splitting, could be some other factors also.

from what i understand of the program optimum is usually within a couple inches either side when tuned on a dyno but not much difference in power. collector length followed by primary length then primary size would be order of importance if i remember correctly.

one problem with the jbl, i can't find enough twisties!
