The objective here was optimizing power & torque curves so weight was not a consideration. It feels no heavier than the racing systems we were using previously.
Its working VERY well on other race engines, but we've not used it on an engine in this particular configuration. We will be comparing them on the dyno this week to get some hard results.

Forwarned about dyno numbers in that they are what they are when they come out of the engine room.
No translations to the rear wheels (although that will happen later on the dynojet) and no extrapolations from a rolling road to bhp. The numbers will be real and absolute for Gamroth's dyno.
We expect nice things, of course, given that the bottom end is stock.
I have a number in mind and of course the torque curve will be gorgeous.

Good question,.....

Does this muffler flow similar to the photo w/flow arrows below? If it does, is the system plumbed into the lower inlets (black arrows w/a more direct path in the second photo) or the upper inlets? I've been thinking of piecing together a system like the one from the 3rd photo - stolen from another Steve W (Wong) w/the vacuum actuated valves that close at lower RPM (quieter) and open at higher RPM (better flow). I've been kinda stymied in terms of sourcing the necessary parts etc... but kind of an interesting solution I think . . .
