Sucky exhaust manifolds.




I've seen an early A pick up 1/2 sec and 5mph in the 1/8 by just swapping to a set of small headers. This was on a street 360 with stock heads, hyd cam and dual plane, nothing crazy where it would "need" a set of headers, that 90* bend and crimp in the manifold on the dr side kills it.
