Have you confirmed that the tri-y headers tube sequencing is correct for your current firing order (camshaft)?
IIRC, on each bank it should sequentially alternate between which secondary leg is fed.
We've seen 20 hp loss when the tri-y's don't match the cam.

RJ,
Off subject, but where did the wagon go? I wish that I'd never sold it, then wished that I'd bought it back when you sold it. No matter; all but spectating now. Glad to see you're still at it.

Good to hear from you also, and I wish I hadn’t sold it either....oh well!!
I sold it to Dick Lux with a 427/410hp combo in it and he races it for awhile and sold it to a Nostalgia SS racer back east.
Are you still involved or did you get Cured, LOL??

RJ, I have a different set of Tri-Y for FE(JBA) you can try on the dyno if you would like. Also a couple of older Hooker Super comp for FE as a comparison. (CJ in Mustang headers) In SATX. Joe-71
