You say they rob power? too small of a header would also and is what i had.

I hear ya on the room available w/fenderwell`s but I`ve also heard they rob a good amount of power compared to a standard header................... Either way, guess you could just turn up the boost...........

i suspect you might have been confused by those who say that hookers abody fenderwell headers cost them some power by having to long primarys,fenderwell headers are usualy alitle better since most of the time they can be made with bigger radius bends and less bends aswell compared to underchassies headers not always but usualy

Not confused just expressing what 440 Jim posted w/dyno results showing that there are better headers as far as power out there.............

I've used both types and sizes of headers on a engine dyno test, first set was a set of Hooker 1 7/8 fenderwells with 42 inch long primarys and 3.5 collectors, the second set was a custom set made by the dyno operator which ended up with 2 1/4 inch priamrys 25 inches long with a four inch collector. The motor was a 426 C.I. 9.5 to 1 compression ratio Max Wedge pump gas motor, the bigger pipes made more HP and torque from 4000 RPM up On your deal the bigger pipes will really help The first blower motor I assembled and dyno tested was a all aluminum KB 499 C.I. street Hemi with a 10.71 BDS blower and Fel Pro EFI, the headers where custom made for the car with 2 1/4 primarys, four inch collectrs and a full four inch exhaust with a H pipe and s set of Flow Masters on it That motor made 1300 +HP at 7300 RPM on the dyno Your pipes have some room to allow engine power growth

Cab,what boost level with the 1071??

I'm not sure what the boost levels ended up being with the new blower and Motech EFI, I was pulled off that project when it had a bad BDS blower and the Fel Pro EFI. That combination made 960 HP at 6500 RPM with 17 lbs of boost, we where not trying to make the most power then so we stop the pulls at 6500. There was issues with the EFI and the blowers not repeating from one run to another run BDS= Bad dang stuff
