^I would like to see 220-230WHP from the VE. This is so great for the VE. All this R&D has came on strong as of late. Keep up the good work community!

Given the right environmental conditions and dyno i think 220whp is very easy to see. Actual HP is actual HP.

I think that ASP headers help us start to see limitations of the VE motor.

Teal97's highest dyno was done on an ASP header, not a Fuji

Ric's last dyno's was on a different dyno, a dyno dynamics i think. That particular dyno reads high as he baselined on there at 209 I think, and at intec he was only in the low 190-191 range with the fuji.

I know, and I remember all the guys saying that R&D was dieing for the VE and we were sort of at the end of the road like 2 years ago.

As long as i'm in the game, VE R&D wont be going anywhere... I love this stuff. I just need to get my car back together so i can be doing all this testing my self and not always borrowing peoples cars.

Hey Charles, I see that you've made your secondaries exactly half the length of the primaries. Burns suggested that sometimes you can get more power if they are a bit longer & said that between 2" & 4" longer is usually where this extra power is gained.

I'm guessing you already know this so have you tried making the secondaries a bit longer to see if it helped? If so, what were the results?

I have messed around with the header steps, lengths and collector merge secondary lengths on about every header I have built. I have also improved upon 2 headers that burns has spec'd out and built. As far as the secondaries, i'm assuming your talking after the first collectors and before the last 2-1 merge? I could lengthen the secondaries and yes that will most likely increase the power, but then I either have to shorten the primaries or remove the flex coupler. I could force the runners more towards the radiator but then This header wont fit all the chassis.

I do know how to improve upon this header, but i can not do so and keep the cost down to this budget price.

I already have one spec'd out how it should be and it does make more power than this budget 4-2-1, but It would be about $1150 give or take.
