Header Intake ?
I need some installation advice, if all goes well I will be installing Dynomax headers and a Elderbrock performer intake this weekend. I know most of you have done these mods already and I have read up on how the passenger header goes through the top and the driver from underneath. And I was hoping for some further advice gaskets, torq specs, ect. Anything thing that might help would be greatly appreciated.

A little off the subject, but about how much does the DynoMax Headers cost?

The manifold bolts should be torqued to 30 ft. lbs. Do you have a diagram with the torque sequence? The headers are easy. You should have no problems there.

Re: Header Intake ? (Fevre)
Some people have had problems with the header gaskets leaking because of the bolts loosening up. I put a set of stage 8 bolts on and have had no problems at all. About 32 dollars from Summit. :seeya John

I Hate Stage 8's true you don't loose the bolts but my gaskets setteled a little and they still leaked.
I know have small head headerbolts. I can get my 1/4 drive ratchet on them and give a nice cranke before a race and I know they are tight:D
