John, Did you get the email I sent you about the headers?

Who picked the 2.09 size exhaus valves

Mighty large, see it hurting overall performance.

Thanks Morgan,
Shelby is sending me a replacment aprt which should fit better. Oddly they don't know why the spec on the # 5 tube is to go between the steering shaft and the support, but I think it has something to do with authenticity..

With the power that you are making and the G forces that you will generate you will have no problem with your set up. You have fixed the pick-up problem which can be a problem on some of these cars. Make sure the tank is vented good as well. The fuel log is a good ideal with any indurance type racing set up. Good luck, Keith
