| MY opinion you will gain more in heat disapation in the engine conpartment. A 10 to 15 precent gain can be expected. Also wrap or have the headers coated. If you don't have a elect. choke you will have to run a copper tube for a heat riser if you plan on running it in the winter. A 1/2" long with a inside diameter big enough to let the 1/4" diameter tube slide in and welded to #6, 7, or 8 cylinder header tube makes a nice nipple for the heat riser tube. I put mine inbetween where 6 and 7 meet. You could also wrap the tube around #7 and put the end inbetween where 6 and 7 meet to get a good thermal transfer. Only draw back is the possilbility of leaks. Plan on getting the best gaskets to seal the headers or be prepared to change a gasket or two every now and then. |
