Hey, John at Hytech called me yesterday and told me that he was shipping the header out. It should probably be here Tuesday or Wednesday, so I just kind of wanted to get some predictions from all of you guys. Here is my setup...
JUN Type 3 cams w/ their valvesprings/retainers/gears/ecu
JUN header/exhaust
Spoon Sports engine block assembly w/thinner headgasket.
So what do you guys think. You think it will make a difference???
John was pretty confident that it would make some good power over the JUN header. So what do you guys think??

 

Yeah, you will definitely notice the difference.

 

That is some good news, I wasn't expecting the headers to come out so early. I can guarentee that they will definately make a big difference over you JUN header.

 

Did you have a baseline run with the JUN header?
What I would like to see is if the Hytech can give more mid-range power on the JUN 3.

 

when did you order the header, I'm still waiting for mine

 

This is getting me excited that you guys are predicting some gains.

I ordered my header a long time ago. Way back in September of 2001.

What I plan to do is baseline it with the JUN header, and then run the hytech header, and clean it up with my apexi afc. So I'll keep you guys posted.

 

if only I had the $$ to spend on a Jun header and then replace it with a Hytech...

 

That kind of sucks, I ordered mine back in August of 2001 and still no word from John. He always gives you the run around. He gets your hopes up saying that the exhaust system will definately be done at such and such time, and when you call up at that time he says that it will definately be done at this such and such time again. He has done this to me for at least three to four times. At least tell the truth and stop making promises like that. I just want to warn all of the possible hytech customers.

 

I recieved the first production header from John...it took over 6 months, but then again he is pretty busy in the shop...good things come to those that wait. You will have some pretty good gains throughout the rpm band...make sure that if you are going to compare the wo headers you will need to do it on the same day.

Yeah, I will be doing the testing on the same day. Hopefully going to break the 200 hp mark.

 

please keep us posted on the gains on the hytech header . it sure would be nice to see thru the power band where it makes a huge different , specially with high lift cams !

 

Hey, guys. It showed up today. It's beautiful. I'll try to get some pictures. I will hopefully take it to the dyno this week.

 

buddy jumped from 186-201 on a built gsr by just bolting the sumbitch up! Pretty impressive

 

to the guys that have ordered Hytech headers....what kind of down payment (full payment?) - did John need prior to committing to making a header for you?

 

Also anybody know if John is taking special orders for his twin loop cat back? I'm willing to pay a little extra to get it before expo.

 

hang in there ... the hytech header is surely worth the wait !!!

John not only is busy making headers he is also busy prepping for upcoming races and it seems like forever given how busy he gets.

In terms of your motor, I think you need to build up some compression even more, a typical spoon motor is simply a stock type r motor with thinner headgasket ...

I sent John a 50% deposit when I ordered the header from him last year, and just before it was finished I sent him the remaining amount. Both of the payments were done via cashiers checks and were not cashed until after the header was shipped to me.

He does'nt, his daddy does.

 

Don't be jealous.

 

It's a joke between him and I, we are friends.

But yes I am very very jealous. his car is bad.

 

I paid in full prior ...but John might work out some deal with ya

 

I talked to John yesterday. i think his quote was....i have alot of work to do. Lots of orders to fill....but thats not a bad thing. He is also preparing stuff for that Formula and Atlantic series stuff. you have to remember that he's busting hump to keep up with demand as he's building headers for this type of racing....



i can't stress enough how much its worth the wait.

 

very true

 

I predict more uninformed idiots will argue over what is the best header.
