Suggestions about Header size.

I skipped the single turbo plan. Got real good prices on Vortech Kit. Going with an V7 Ysi trim instead.

So whats about superchargers and exhaust size. around 1000hp with n2o. 850 on motor. 7500rpm. 4500rpm stall.

Is a 2-1/4 with 4" collector the way?

Larger?

Yes, it will. Mayby.

But with that prices i got. And those turbo deals.

I got sponsor money covering up the whole system. But no money on turbo setup.

So getting new EFI ECU, Broadband lamda and a superchager complete for some Vinyl.

Or pay mayby 4000$ to complete install. I weighted in cost because i should only be doing 850hp. And both ways can do it on a miss...
