Good work.

If you need any help testing let me know. You are more than welcome to use the dyno here for a compare again the SSAC etc.

I dont mind lending a hand.

If it doesn't crack, then it's 100000x better than a SSAC.

On a intake/stock cam engine maybe.

The ASP budget blew the SSAC out of the water on every high comp 2.0L tested in the north east, especially after 7000rpm.

while driving to work I thought... i wonder if anyone was going to quote me and say the ssac would lose badly to the asp on a high comp build....

hehe. glad to have your input Jamie.

all i have to say is that this was a super budget setup, im not looking for crazy power or anything, it was just a favor for a very very good friend of mine. hes happy with it and so am i. if i wanted to do something crazy and creative i would of. i was on a tight schedule and this is the only thing that i could come up with on short time. at the end of the day most people dont put up competition with my skills so at the end of the day it is what it is. i no what im good at and have plenty to back it up.

Almost anything will make more power than SSAC or SSAC copy. IMHO, SSAC and their copies are over-rated

Even though tuning was probably an issue, I ditched a brand new 2.5 SSAC and go back to stock. Stock made more power. Most people who used SSAC do so because they get motors without the stock secondaries or maybe because they had to use 2nd O2 bung which stock doesn't have...

I made good power (better than stock) only after going to a modified SSAC

This header should do ok. My only concern is the 'crush bends' and how they will affect flow but you have already said that should not be a factor.

Looking forward to see before and after #s..

Peace
