I doubt you are giving up any power with the 1 7/8 tubes but the collector could be better with 3 1/2" but if you run with the exhaust on then the exhaust system could be holding it back.. depending on the muffs and the location of the muffs I ran my engine through my header program and it called out a 1 7/8 tube and 3 1/2 collector.. our engines are fairly close I ran those same headers on my w5 motor and swapped to 3.5 collectors and didnt notice any difference. Brian i think tested those headers a while back against a race headers and i think noted about a 30 horsepoer difference. the TTI's make sacrifices in the power dept for fit..... Yes but its not going to be for every build. Case in point is Martin's 427 we just did. His made better power with the TTI's and a 3.5" collector vs. the Hedman. It's all in testing as far as I'm concerned. Brian Hafliger

Thats the thing NO shelf header can be right for all engines... but if people dont try other stuff so they think they work great... but most dont change headers till they fall apart

Better have good stuff if you are winding over 7K with a 4" stroke. A stock block could be the least of your worries. Fastest 300
