Thanks! If you are running the hooker super comps you probably are I am going to have the chassis man build me a set when/if he ever gets to the roll cage and anti roll. They are high dollar though, he says in the 1200-1500 range for ss set. I am thinking of a f2 charger pump gas setup next so I guess it will be woth it in the long run.

Yes, I have the Hooker Super Comps. If I can, I may modify them to get more clearence. I may shorten them a little. Or, I may buy Chevelle headers instead.

Re: header ground clearance

I don't see it happening right now. I just gave the machine shop $1700 for a Scat forged stroker kit. The original forged crank was cracked. Hopefully it will be together for the racing season in time.

I think that I'm going to put them on mine when I get the chance. Do you have another shot of it?
