WTB c5 long tube headers and louvered hood
Guys, looking for a used set of good condition long tube headers for my 98 model corvette race car. also looking for a world challenge style louvered hood for the same car. Thanks for any replies or directing me to a good source. Jerry Stout

No overheating issues. Just felt like a louvered hood would improve overall aerodynamics, flow outside air in and exhaust hot air out etc. Plus they look so dogone good! Jerry

Oh... I thought you packed it up at Road Atlanta because it was overheating... must have been given bad info. Was watching you run in the enduro on that Friday.

Yeah, I did comp school that morning from 8 to 1:20, filled the car as full as I could, and drove till it sputtered. I overheated by that time, not the car! Seriously, I was hot and tired, and by myself. When I came in after about 50 minutes, I thought it better to get out of the car at that point. The car is consistent and predictable, but not really fast. Or maybe I should say, I am not really fast in it. The dyno sheets I got with the car were old, and I really didn't know where to shift. Took it to a friends dyno day, and looks like I need to shift at 6500. I was shifting at 6. Also, think the aero was slowing me down a bit. Wing had 9 degrees of attack angle. I have changed it to 4.7 so we will see how it does next time out. Definitely more of a momentum car than my c6z06. Thanks for the concern. Jerry
