Can I run open headers?
Help. I wanna try and squeeze a little more power from my '79 Vette. This Sunday will be my final chance to drag race for the winter. I've done a few 14.4's but would like to try a few things with the timing light and was considering opening up the headers. I've been looking at it but think when I open up the bolts at the collectors, is there a way to roll the exhaust to one side or the other. It doesn't look good because the true duals are running through the holes in the crossmember. Does anyone do this ever or would the gains be worth the work involved. Thanks for the help! :seeya

Have fun and good luck! Make sure you drive with your windows open if you do this. Carbon Monoxide will turn you red for reasons than other than embarrassment.
