For the header or to drink while watching the adhesive melt?

Over/under on weeks until this build is another failure that ends up parted, wrecked, or burned for the insurance money?

Damnnnnn. Had this car over 5 years now, and NOW is the time for it to fail spectacularly?

So many haters.

I need to come down, drink all your gin, and complete your car.

Sure come on down! Bring gin. I have lots, but i like collecting it.

The car isn't... incomplete, though. It's in a running and driving state, and has been for nearly 5 years.

Running car? Sounds like part out time.

So you bought the Hytech. The bungs are 1/8NPT, not O2 bungs. For testing a proto manifold and individual cylinder trim in an attempt at lowering BSFC for enduro, T25 specifically. Never happened. Gorgeous piece though. Good for an S/C or high output N/A.
Run at least a 2-3/8" (RB) but 2.5" exhaust preferably. No gains with 3" tubing. Also no gains by going super loud, super low restriction mufflers. Run sensible muffler/resonator.

That header would be happiest on a big P/D blower or C30/C38 Rotrex. If N/A at anything under about 160whp, the primaries are too big (but the correct length).

Anyway, nice to see it found a home where it will be appreciated for what it is.
