I put Edelbrocks on, because they are the only ones legally certified for use in California. I didnt want to have illegal headers, just legit stuff that I dont have to worry about.
Dan Cragin + Co had my car on the Dyno Pack, both before the Edelbrocks, and after. It had 535 rwhp, and 560 rwtq, before the installation of the headers. I've got Striker Heads and cam, and Corsa cat-back only, at this point. And old gas, + wrong plugs....but I digress!
Now there is a slight variation here, in that the Edelbrock collector is 3", and the Corsa cat-back is 3", but there was an area of 2.5" restriction in the middle, near the cats. So Dan fabricated some 3" rings, along with V-band clamps, (+ put on new stock cats), to remove the tight spots. So now I'm all 3", from the headers, out the back.
Then he dyno'd it again, and we ended up with nearly 578 rwhp, and 589 rwtq.
The Edelbrocks were responsible for most of that increase, but the new cats helped, so did the removal of the 2.5" restrictions. Your results may vary!
If I had it to do over again, I would have shaved the heads, and gone with 11 to 1 compression, instead of the casual stock compression.
The Edelbrocks look like works of art, fit perfectly. They even have the CARB EO # stamped right on them, so the Dudley-Do Rights in the People's Republic of Kalifornia dont get their ******* in a bunch.
That's what I was looking at, they seem a good price but sorry to say the seller wont ship out of USAhere ya go. They don't work on Gen 1 or I would buy them.
