I talked to a TTI rep today at the INDY Show....... He told me the SB 1 7/8" primary headers for OEM/Edelbrock RPM heads are now available. He also told me they have somebody out there with 2 versions of their SB header in 3" and 3 1/2" collector for back to back dyno tests, so...... They may (and should) have them available with the 3 1/2" collectors. That's all I know and told him, I'd pass it along. So now you all with 408-up strokers have a decent HP making header with the same ground clearance, etc. as the rest of their line. Somebody at TTI listened.

Wondering which A body they will fit..early or just the ones after 67...
I'm guessing after 1967. after talking Bob Mazzoloni, he said they made a set for pre 68 for him or a customer. the early a bodies are a pain in the a$$. just got done building a 66 GT 360 cu.in. I used a set of block Huggers and modified the drivers side to clear the steering box. I received as set of TTi for my 1969 340 a few weeks ago always a nice product from TTI

At what point does a SB engine require 1 7/8 headers vs the stepped headers?
Would a solid cam 6 pak stroker with 550 lift benefit from the 1 7/8 vs the stepped header? 6500 rpm engine

It depends on cubic inches and RPM where it's going to be operated.
I'm basically talking about 400+ drag type engines.
A street 408" that spends it's time doing commute duty with the occasional romp down a straight stretch, isn't really going to matter. The 1 7/8" x 3 1/2" might be worth 10-15 HP on an engine like that BUT, not at 3000 RPM.
On a race oriented stroker, you might see 30-40 HP in drag trim.
Would I spend the money on the big tubes for a street 416" from scratch? YES
Would I buy the big tubes if I already had the small ones? Probably
......but, that's just me. I doubt you'd notice it on a low RPM streeter.
If somebody can post the part numbers for their respective body styles, it would be helpful to interested parties.

now if they would make a set for my B1BA HEADS, Ill wait PAITENTLY, I guess.
Kasey
Not sure there is enough sets of those heads out there to justify the need. I don't think brodix even makes them anymore?
Good luck...if they won't make something to fill the giant hole in the w7/w8/w9 header market, I doubt you'll ever see a version for that head from them...

Last 700 HP Motor I dynoed with set of TTI 1 7/8's lost 23 HP going from 1 7/8-2" Step's with 3.5 collectors to the straight 1 7/8-3" W2 TTI's
A little confusing, the way it's worded......
It made more power with the step x 3.5" header?
