The first kit was a little crude but for testing we learned a lot from it.
Most of the first header was damaged in a rearend car crash job by an 87 Nissan . ("Thanks.. Mr.Nissan" ) After some redesigning and more testing the new kit fits perfect and looks awesome. We use to use the Holley pergresive 32/36 2 barrel carb. That carb was nice and made good power for how small it was. We used one on a 1915cc and at 15lbs made 176hp and 207tq at the wheels. For testing only we wraped the header main pipes but they would rust and fall apart too soon. (do not wrap your turbo header) The whole kit was built around the use of heater boxes. Notice the LowBugget traction bar after backing into a curb! |

The new car is a 1970 (i like IRS cars when you start to add real power!) The pics
show the rebuild just befor the Gene Berg cruise. from CA to MI and yes back! My dad and i striped the car for paint, recoating of the turbo headers and some other goodies. The last few pics are on the cruise and the dyno day in MI were the car made 198hp and 236tq at the wheels on pump gas. The last pic is in UT cuming back in 101* heat. |
