We recently posted a video of Dr. Charles showing how to stiffen up the front engine mount, which eliminates any clearance issues and actually improves shifter feel at the same time.

Re: Skunk2 race header..

It was just released. Were doing some testing on it this upcoming week. Going to be swapping out an entire Vibrant setup for the Skunk2 70MM + Mega Power R Header.

strup is just cheaper and a lil better than DC. if you want quality and overall performance gains you gotta go with vibrant, s2 or BC or higher.

What kind of gains? I got just over 20whp with my Intake and DCRH combo. What kind of extra "gains" do the higher-end header setups provide for twice the price over the DCRH??

And not to take anything away from Skunk2 (because I own suspension components from them), but for $900 I would hope to see what overall performance improvements that setup provides over some of the lower-end stuff.

Re: Skunk2 race header..

yeah someones gotta show why it costs 2X as much. when i saw the quality fitment with the mugen aero kit and that they have stock mounting positions that holds everything in instead of making new holes in my car that sold me immediately. nothing is showing me that the skunk2 peice of metal is any better than strup

Re: Skunk2 race header..

I have no actual proof but I think Skunk2 makes more power than the others, on the fact that there runners are longer. The runners go all of the way to the flange, and after being in a car with a BCRH and one with a DCRH (all other mods identical...even the brand) the BCRH, with longer runners pulls much harder.

Re: Skunk2 race header..

Looks good, but you have to weld another o2 sensor bung in. Which sucks. I'll stick with my DC

Re: Skunk2 race header..

hold on a minute. i thought shorter runners make for more higher end power. and longer runners make for more lower end power. at least its like this on the intake side of the motor. it would make sense it does also on the exhaust side.
