Back in the late 60's early 70's tuned headers became generally available. They looked like twisted lumps of speghetti, but added significant HP. In the case of my Valient 225 slant 6, they flattened the torque curve, resulting an a very smooth, almost diesel-like shift-where-you-want, acceleration.
In the case of my '63 R2 Avanti, I have a very sharp torque curve, and some obvious backpressure. I would like to solve that "old school"
Q: Are there tuned headers out there for 289s? I realize that they went out of production before the commercial (non-custom) headers became available.
cheers!
