Do most of you run Mopar engines ? If so, are most of your headers upswept or standard downswept ? Trying to get a feel for the number of "other than full-bodied cars" raced on the site.. Thanks.

We will be running a Nostalgia FED this year, 225" WB with a injected R5/P7 engine combo. The car isn't together---yet!

The zoomie headers will be upswept---I think they prefer them that way.

We plan to run with the NPCA group out of Indy. The races we want to run are Indy, St. Louis, KC, Beech Bend and I understand that Charlotte may be added.

A 140" FED here. That is STILL not done. A 500 incher ....with small tube UPswept headers. The motor type and combo that you change oil once a year and that is it. Should be a mid to low 9 second car that maybe will be capable of running pump-regular !

Other projects have gotten in the way of that one .... like my boat ... an ex-drag boat to be converted to a "cruiser" WITH up-swept big-tube large-collector water-injected Bassett headers.
