[QUOTE="PWORLDSTANG, post: 8237250, member: 49424"] I'll agree that my gains were on the higher side, and there may have been a couple of variables to affect this (which is why I've never posted this until now). They're only 5RWHP higher from what most would agree of the power increase you'd see with headers. However, with my post I was simply trying to point out [B]the increases in the area under the curve[/B], just as 96Stanggt was talking about. In my graph, it shows a 20+ RWHP difference under the curve in the before/after power lines before they slightly 'pinch' back together (at peak HP). Had my power lines not broken up a little in the upper RPM's, it may have been more noticable. I have also seen others post (on more than one occasioin) and say they only gained a few HP (less than 10) from headers and were disappointed. The only thing I can say about that is my experience has been different, as well as many others who have headers. And no doubt even my Mac Long Tubes were damn expensive with install for the results gained on a dyno sheet - there's no arguing that. However, I'd be surprised to see an intake net someone 4MPH at the track. For some, the cost is worth it. For others, it is not. To each his own. :beer: :thumbsup: I wish American Racing had headers for our cars when I bought mine. [/QUOTE]
