| RE: Tunnelport Questions?? |

If I remember correctly, you are using the stock hood. That means you will have to use the short air filter element on the oval set-up. This is because of the height of the tunnelport intake.
A nice set of chrome pentroof 427 valve covers are hard to beat for looks. However there are some nice looking aluminum covers on the Shelbys. You might want to check them out.
The big discussion has been on what headers to use. There is no doubt that a set of Hooker competition headers would put out the most power when they are run open at the track. However it has already been mentioned that they do hang down a long way. While they may look mean, they do present a major problem when cruising on the street. Especially with speed bumps at the local hangout. When headers get dented, they look nasty.
Another route that can be taken is the tri-y type headers. These fit inside the chassis out of harms way. A friend of mine use to run them on a 427 with a tunnelwedge in his '67 Mustang. We were surprised that there was not that much gain when he switched over to the competition Hookers when run thru the mufflers. The performance picked up a little but it was not enough to offset the cost or the hassle of trying to cruise around with those low hanging things on the street. |
