Read the moparts tech section, Hookers are definitely OUT, Both Thorley and hedman Elite have 1&3/4"primaries, engine builder (Dvorak)recommended 2', I could probably live with 1&7/8 if i could find them, don't really wanna pay 5-800for TTIs to use on my "Rat rod" SE chall...BTW this is for my "mild" 500" bulldog headed solid cam RB 4 spd DOT tires 3500lb car.

OK, RTSE...but rea d our tech section here on Moparts if you are going with any angle plug head...I found the return rates at Summit particularly interesting. THX, C

From what I have seen there is only one tube that has to be "loveingly massaged" on a set of Hooker 2" Super Comps with the angle plug heads. Contact Zippy, he has a set of 1 7/8" Hooker Comps on his Eddy headed Charger and i think he only had to mildly clearance one or two tubes for plug socket clearance. I have a set of 1 7/8" Super Comps for my Eddy headed 451 low deck and #2 tube is a nightmare, bashed the devil out of it to get plug boot clearance. #8 needed slight clearancing for the plug socket to go on. Everything else is good to go.

The comp 1 7/8" work great on strokers if you replace the 3" collector with a 3 1/2", it's the collector that's the bottleneck mor than the primary diameter.
