Edelbrock RPM Air Gap Intake and FAST EZ-EFI. The car is a 56 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer. My best guess is that this combo will be in the 500 HP range. My only option for headers is to use shorty truck headers with 1 1/2" tubes. How much HP am I be leaving on the table by going with these as opposed to 1 7/8" long tube headers? you can see from this pic but the Upper control arm is much closer otthe exhaust port thant it looks.
