OMG!

Header flanges...........

the ports look....wide? are the p51's bigger than cj's?

Cool 40,

No they aren't. The flange is wide enough for the primary pipe to be slipped up inside of the flange before welding.

aha! that pic made them look wide to me. i guess they would without a tube in them.

I thought you were gonna retain you original headers... are you going with a bigger set or redirecting them?

Both bigger and redirected, I'm sick of pulling one side off to get the tranny out.............so out come the torque boxes to make some more room.

looks cool, what size will they be?

2 3/8", thats what was used on the dyno session if you wanna call it that lol, I see no reason to make um any different.

Maybe you need to find a different tranny builder. (joke) You already run it without a crossmember , if it gets to much easier it will just fall out.

Travis

me thinks converter might need be sent back after the initial runs lol.

tranny is just fine, not even gonna change the fluid..............

DD thread owns....................

DD back in its home................

How much time do you think your going to shave off with the DD? Can't remember what times you were running before.

Car had been a 9.01 in the 1/4 and 5.60 in the 1/8th.................. and now seeing how f'ed up the fuel curve was I'm surprised it ran that good.

Its just a question of how deep in the 8's it will go. Cage is only good to 8.50, I doubt I'll need to worry about a quicker cert, but it will be close lol. Next upgrade will be a tube chassis of sorts.....but that's gonna be a long ways down the road.
