ON a car with no wheelie bars, they are supposed to add (from the exhaust velocity aimed up) almost 30lbs to the front, without carrying 30lbs if that makes sense.
Helps keep the front down

I'm assuming Bullhorns mean the collector pointing up outside the body, correct or not?
I would be temted,if i had set, to try pointing them back towards the rear bumper for additional ET work devil

JericoGTX : Downforce. While not a lot, on a fast car, you take every bit of advantage you can to not get air under the car.

Drag from the tube hanging outside the body would likely outstrip any "thrust" from the headers

When it comes to aerodynamics testing Mopar did a bunch of that using crepe paper strips on one of their test Dusters back in the mid 1970s filming it and then looking at each frame from the starting line to the finish line in the 1/4 mile.
I've seen the same testing done on small racing airplanes the nose, fuselage, wings, rudder and tail designs all come into play on aerodynamic drag,
I owned and flew a Piper 260 Comanche single engine 5 place airplane, it would average around 180 MPH indicated air speed straight and level on 60% full power above 9500 Ft. above sea level, the fuel consumption got a lot better the higher you flew do to needing to lean it out for the thinner air up
We were flying back to SO CA from visiting our grandkids in Seatle WA, we were above a cloud layer at 11,500 ft the outside air temps were right at 5 F, the ride was very smooth, and I was bored so I started playing around with prop pitch RPM, sliding my seat all the way back as far as it would go made the airplane speed up around 4 MPH boogie
Slowing the prop speed down from 2400 RPM to 2300 RPM picked up 12 MPH shock
I ended up trying from 2000 RPM to 2600 RPM in 500 RPM increments, that airplane that day a in those weather at that altitude like 2300 RPM best.
My message is to test before deciding on what will work versus what you may think will or won't work on our toys twocents wrench scope work up
Lots of ways to slow down, not so many on making our cars and other toys faster, test, test and test some more wrench up

Plenty of folk still using them, people have done testing with positive results as well.

thanks for the links LA ! up
i can finally start to understand this concept.
there is quite a bit of difference between an 11 second car and a 5 [or 4] second one. biggrin

Turning them up to help with downforce, sure. It's free weight not subject to a those post race weighing thingies, scales.

Turning them back to the rear to increase speed through additional thrust, I doubt it seriously has a positive effect. Drag vs thrust.

Here is a set I built for my street/road race 'Cuda. It's a turbo car with 345's up front, so packaging is tight.

I'm using the Victor heads, and no one makes a header flange I liked. I bought the Stainless Headers one and figured out it's just a copy of the .dxf file for the gasket. Decided to make my own (right one is the SH flange and left is mine):

[Linked Image]

I had these water jet cut, and the port slug gave me an idea. I reduced the OD about .030", put a radius on the driven edge, and drilled a hole to attach a handle. This became my forming tool for the stubs. I formed the stub on the bench, inserted, and then formed it again in the flange. Worked out pretty good:

I used the Lego's to layout about 10 different setup's. The goal was all primaries within 1/2" of each other, easy spark plug access, and be removable without pulling the engine! I finally got there, but damn...

The other side was no easier, as I have the engine offset 1-1/2" to the passenger side.

Greg,
Good to hear the progress.
What didn't you like about the #1 and #7 tubes?
