New Pics of Melrose Header's (Installed)
Bolted up the MELROSE headers two weeks ago. I did it in our garage with just a set of truck jackstands to get the car in the air. Was very surprised on how easy they went in. Only 'glitch' was the long LCA bolt in the car from the T1 lockout kit. Instead of running them forward, I ran them to the rear for easy access. The driver side bolt needed to be loosened, pushed into the frame mount so the header would slide up into the left side of the engine.
Dyno results were awesome. Last year on our Mustang dyno, we put down 365.9 hp 346.2 tq..........(389.2 hp 381 tq on a Dynojet the following week)
This morning, on the Mustang dyno, we put down 389.5 hp and 368.4 tq.........+23/+22......and that was installing on the T1 car that already had an 'open' exhaust.
Assuming the change is the same, we would be right at 413rwhp on the Dynojet.....405 tq..........
That doesn't suck.................
for a STOCK LS6!!!
