Re: More info on Dynatech Headers (BQuicksilver)
Personally, I'm not sure you'd give up alot of torque over LGs design.
The only real differences are in the design of the collector, and the location of the cats.
If I lived in TX or a OBD2 test only state, I would look at the LGs, but since I live in Colorado with all the crazys, I think the Dynatechs are safer.

I should be getting my headers soon. Dynatech's latest 97-00 production batch shipped this week. I will have them installed as soon as possible once I receive them.

Re: More info on Dynatech Headers (Heretic)
Still waiting delivery of my headers from Corvette Garage. I keep getting the response "Should be in this week." I placed my order in early March. Corvette Garage charged my card on 3/26/04. I have yet to see the product show up at my door.

Am I the only one who can't read anything on these graphs? They look impressive but please type in what the gains or losses are in horsepower and torque.

Re: More info on Dynatech Headers (bgood)
If the "maxx" are as similar as LG says, then the actual performance figures cannot be much different. Probably not much difference among any of the long tubes.
Dynamax mentioned *****'s Carb and Dyno, so I HAVE to comment...
We've used a number of dyno facilities for our competition engines. *****'s Carb and Dyno is number one and now our only choice. You guys picked the right man to work with. I value that choice. ***** is the best!
Anyone anywhere near Mt. Carmel, IL or within driving distance (we transporte and commute from Effingham to pick *****'s brain) could do worse... much worse!
In fact, our nearly 1000 hp, twin-turbo, 299 c.i. (in my Avatar) record setter was the highest hp engine ***** had done at the time (early '90s)!
All the best. :yesnod:

Re: More info on Dynatech Headers (vettenuts)
UPS delivered my headers today. I will do what I can to have them installed tomorrow.
For those of you that are interested I will weigh each piece tonight and post the total weight of the Dynatech headers that I received.

bgood, Thanks to you and the others posting this info and the installation pics. I have been on the fence and now am going to have FLP install the Dynatech's and a few other mods after I get back from the CruiseIn :thumbs:

Re: More info on Dynatech Headers (BQuicksilver)
I saw that, but scales are like dynos. The comparision is only valid when done on the same equipment.
My bathroom scale says 15-16lbs for 1 cast iron manifold. Thats different than other readinngs I've seen.
