I=E2=80=99m probably bucking the trends here. I run the stainless falcon tri=
-y. If you believe theory behind header designs, the shorter primaries will f=
avor low to mid range torque over high rpm horsepower. Since I built my race=
 motor around the concept of accentuating torque, I went with these. Been ru=
nning them since 2010 and they are still in great condition. Do I make the m=
ost power, no. Does my car pull out of the corners? Hell yeah.=20

One draw back with my engine combo. It drops out of that nice fat torque cur=
ve at anything over 6500. I know some other guys that run TR 3/4 motors that=
 will pull another 1000 rpm making power.=20

I guess it comes down to the whole package. Match your headers to your engin=
e.=20
