ArdWrknTrk Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Today's update... with $3/gallon gasoline the coating will pay for itself in 66,666 miles. I think you mean 😈 It's racing season, and if smoothing the inside of the header and keeping the gasses hot is good for 3%, or even .003 seconds per run, it's worth it! What did Alan have to say about L&L's headers rubbing the frame? I really despise fender exit headers that run out below the rocker, but at least they keep heat away from the starter.

I probably meant , , , and Didn't ask him about them hitting the frame. Didn't think of it. But the engine was sitting low on the driver's side. So I know I can shim with 1/4 plate and level the engine as well as get it off the frame - if I need to do so. As for the racing, you are right. Any advantage and they'll take it. How much advantage did Penske gain by going to 4-bolt wheels over 5-bolt? Not much, but everything adds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 I always thought 666 was the mark of the beast? True, but if the price of gas was different it wouldn't be 66,666 miles. For instance, at $2 it is more like 75,000 miles. But maybe I should call him Big Beast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
