DO LONG TUBE HEADER MAKES MORE POWER? WHICH HEADERS MAKE MORE POWER, 1 3/4 VS 1 7/8 INCH? DO I NEED BIGGER HEADERS ON MY SUPERCHARGED LS? DO HIGH-HORSEPOWER LS MOTORS NEED BIGGER HEADERS? DO I NEED BIGGER HEADERS? HOW MUCH POWER CAN I MAKE WITH 1 3/4-INCH HEADERS? WHEN DO I NEED TO STEP UP TO 1 7/8-INCH HEADERS? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I COMPARED 1 3/4-INCH VS 1 7/8-INCH LONG-TUBE HEADERS ON A NEAR 600-HP 383 STROKER AND THEN AGAIN ON A 750+ HP SUPERCHARGED 383 STROKER. DO YOU REALLY NEED BIGGER HEADERS ON A BIGGER MOTOR? DOES MORE POWER REQUIRE LARGER PRIMARY DIAMETER HEADERS? LOTS OF GOOD DATA!

Good to know going with the 1 3/4 headers for steering shaft clearance didn't cost me any power on the ole 6.2. 2010 Silverado 6.2 Speed Engineering 1 3/4 and ORY. I asked you about 2 weeks ago this very question and you made these two videos. You really kick ass.

Interesting. Given the boost drop, i’d say there was a restriction and the bigger header did make a difference. Maybe not a restriction issue, but better cylinder evacuation with the larger header. But that one degree of timing at those HP levels could easly be responsible for a big portion of the gains.

I put it together with ceramic coated 1 3/4" longtubes, all controlled with a Holley Terminator X. Haven't had a chance to get it on the dyno yet but it pulls strong AF lol. When this comes apart for version 2.0 I'll add a forged crank, 4 bolt splayed cap conversion, aftermarket heads like some AFR's, a bigger cam from Tick, and a smaller pulley on the blower. That'll be the time I go to 1 3/4" stepped to 1 7/8" headers.

This is great thanks Richard. I have been watching the Enginemasters header/exhaust/muffler tests while I plan to finish my exhaust. Blown SBC. I already have very good fitting ss 1 5/8 headers. My conclusion is I am best optimising the exhaust inc 3" collectors tuned with a x resonators and high flowing glasspacks. There is more power to be lost in the exhaust than 1 5/8 vs 1 3/4 headers which I estimate at only 5hp at 6000. This may be good advice to someone. Headers are expensive.

It's been my experience that most roots/screw motors don't really care about header size or length very much but some do. I think it has more to do with cam timing, overlap, and how an individual engine's intake and exhaust "talk" to each other.

I truly enjoy these tests, myself... nothing I build is a dedicated "racecar." So I tend to err on the small side, 1.75" primary headers would be my choice 99% of the time. I like the thinking on the exhaust port, it is a factor few people consider. I'd like to see it done on a set of junk heads for giggles - even though I think we all know what the result would be. But, humor me... how about opening the exhaust port to match the size of the hole in the header flange, then blending it down into the port? I have a feeling that it would = loss of power and disappointment. But, would be fun to see. Lastly, I had a similar combination to the N/A aluminum 383 you tested back in 2008-2010. It made similar power, and ran 10.70s @ 125 MPH on 93 pump gas in a full weight car.

I think the added timing helped the engine breathe better and the headers added to that. When tuning with HP Tuners, you can add timing and see if it is creating a higher or lower pull on the MAF to determine if it's creating more power or losing more power. Since there is no maf, the boost level is where you can get that info from. Another good video.

Scavenging is a function of tube length (sets the frequency and thus the rpm range) and velocity (flow and tube diameter). The faster velocity the better the scavenging, but too small and you'll cause restriction at high flow. "Back in my day" 1&3/4" was considered too big for a small block, 1&5/8" was enough for us mere mortals... 😂 I'd say that is still true up to 600 hp or so.

Thanks Richard! I bought some Speed Engineering 1-3/4" headers for my LS1 based on your tests. The goal is a certain air speed to maximise scavenging...which relates to cylinder pressure when the exhaust valve opens. These new LS cams open the valve so early that they can get away with larger primaries, although it's not the best solution. The speed of sound also changes with exhaust temperature, and 2 stroke engine builders commonly lean out engines to tune the power band.

I use something similar to the old Ford Fe exhaust manifolds that I welded up myself from some store bought "No Stub Header Flanges." It's basically just a 3" half pipe horizontally over the exhaust outlets, and exits at the end so that each manifold looks like an L shape. That's the best I can describe it. I use it on a supercharged motor. I don't really know if it hurts flow or not, but it sure fits the engine bay easy.

I am of the mindset, that you would actually see a power increase, if you matched the exhaust port and the header tube, then do a step series, with a choke at the merge collector. By doing that, you get to keep the exhaust velocity that you see at the port, further down the header. You'd actually might be able to change the cam requirements as well. Think about it...we port the intake track, match and flow the intake to the port, but just leave the exhaust to chance? Slide on over to SpeedTalk, it's discussed plenty over there.

I play a lot in car audio and headers act a lot like ports in ported boxes. In a ported box, you basically have a controlled leak that boosts specific frequencies There's a lot of similarities between them. To make a ported box play lower you can do 3 things. Make the box bigger (bigger motor makes more low end torque) Make the port longer (longer header primary tube makes more low end torque) make the port area smaller (Smaller header primaries make more low end torque)

Also wonder if different lengths (not as important) might show different results for preference. Probably would need to be a good bit different in primary lengths for that, idk.

Do these headers, the 1 3/4” and 1 7/8” sets, have the same size collector/flange? From my own builds aside from the design of a header and scavenging effects changing power curves, I have also seen power differences when using the same style/size header but with different size collector flanges outlets. This hasn’t been with my LS setups but I’m actually referring to my old Honda days as I remember one particular dyno session where I ran essentially two identical 4 into 2 into 1 style headers only one ended at a 2.5” and one at 3”. I was running a 3” exhaust at the time, and the 2.5” flanged header made less power while on the big cam lobe than the 3” flanged piece.

I’m not Richard, but I know the answer to your question lol. When talking about these factory Eaton blowers and porting, what is done is the outlet on the underside of the blower is opened up to a larger size than it is from the factory. This is the orifice/location where the vanes dispense their boost from the blower and force it down either into the intake manifold or, if equipped, through an intercooler and then into the manifold to the engine. What this does is allow the volume of airflow to be less restricted coming out of the blower, so In theory it allows more CFM of airflow to exit the blower and therefore make more power.

The NA combo would’ve done a bit better with some aftermarket heads

the na combo had cnc ported 243s-see the big head test video to see why those heads are not a restriction to this combo

Would the header results be the same on a 454 bbc in the 500 to 600 hp range? Im running 2 inch headers, are they too big? Thankx.

I don’t mean to nitpick, I’m enjoying the vids, but something not being considered is the collector where the pipes merge. The 1 3/4 looks like a mor gradual curve into the merge in the collector. Desirable. The 1 7/8 looks like a shorter and more abrupt merge. Not to mention what the inside looks like. Are the 1 3/4 pinched together where all the tubes touch to form a symmetrical “+” shape? Does the hookers have that sloppy welding in there where it’s a bunch of weld where the pipes all touch? All of that makes a difference. Theres a few other details, but I’m getting too picky and technical. Anyways, good comparison. Street duty is always better with a smaller header. Wonder if 1 5/8 would be more tq down low.

sloppy welding changes nothing-even big dents change nothing-collector design can change the power curve

@@richardholdener1727 it’s quite difficult to describe and convey my thoughts in the comment section. Unfortunately it does not let me post images, picture is worth a thousand words. But more so I was referring to collector design being different for both. But I’m splitting hairs tbh. Just pointing out factors that effect things that the “average “ gear head doesn’t consider. Not meaning to nitpick, I enjoy all the info and I know you can’t please everyone!

Stock: not so much. But when you get a cam, intake, tune, etc., the stock headers can choke up the engine. One dude gained 50hp on a cammed LS3 swapping from stock to 1 3/4 headers

Yes! Any LS engine will benefit from long tubes. Even a stock 4.8 will be worth putting headers on. I've got a 2010 Silverado 6.2 headers only into stock catback. It made a nice difference in a 6k lbs truck, in a car it would be very noticeable. From 2k to redline it pulls harder. It also runs smoother with the long tubes on my 87 octane tune.

Unless you can test each individual combination in a tightly controlled scientific environment, you couldn't measure the minute differences. Moreover, the tiny performance variations might not make a measurable difference at the track. I wish we had an easy button
