Do I need headers

[tmiller02]

I am 2 weeks out before adding ESS G3x kit. Does it make since to spend the money on LTH’s. My real question is, is it worth over 2k for the hp gain of the headers. I am stock now except MBRP axle back and Pypes H-pipe. Just want the most bang for the buck. Can do a lot of thing with 2k. GT500 front end conversion being one of them. I am chasing HP on 93 pump gas though. Thoughts. I know many of you have been where I am.

if its between gt500 front end or headers, i say headers.

Not really. You can pulley down and make the same kinda power. Headers are one of the last things to do when you're chasing every last bit of power. E85 or a good intake will get you best bang for buck.

Nope. You don't need headers until you are well north of 800whp.

 

[LOL WUT]

If good E85 is available, spend that 2k on a fuel system and run E85 over headers IMO.

From what I’ve heard, headers are a nightmare to install and you basically need an engine lift to raise the engine an inch or so get it done. Headers aren’t holding you back on 93. Not worth the labor (whether you’re paying or doing it yourself) in my opinion. My headers are stock with a G3 kit on 93 and the car absolutely fucking rips.

Anything else I can do other than headers to squeeze a bit more HP on 93 pump gas

Yes, lots. However, if you don’t self-tune your hands are pretty tied.

This is how fun they can be.

My buds 2019 makes 830whp on a Mustang Dyno with a centri/10R80 through 100% factory exhaust.

What does a person need for the fuel system on a gen 3 that costs $2k to run corn?

 

[CrackedHorn]

Like others have said, it isn't going to be worth $2k for you.

If you were wanting to stay NA and were wanting to get more out of it then LT headers would make more sense.

To run corn boosted nearly every tuner requires a full return system.

If the American flag was a sound, it would be a supercharger, long tubes, and a straight pipes on a V8. If you don't love that, you hate America. Shame on you.

So yes, you need headers.

I've heard you can melt your stock cats and grenade your engine with boost. IDK if that is true so maybe someone can chime in, but I've heard that multiple times.
