Default Red headers?
Earlier this week (the coldest day of the year in Atlanta), on the dyno, the only warm spot was close to the engine bay! The glowing headers were a comforting sight.

That's either a cell phone photo, or a screen cap from a video... I'm hoping for the latter.

Nice shot John!

The car is a 951S with a stock K26/8, stock boost via KLR and CV. The headers are SFR S2, AFRs around 11.8:1, pic taken with my iPhone.

Can you share any more info on the car, such as any other mods, boost and hp #'s ? I wonder how much of a difference the headers can make on a stock car.
