Re: Stebro questions...

I think Tom was just limited by the collectors he could find for less than an arm and a leg. Those look like the hooker formed collectors which are 2.5"x10". They certainly do represent an expansion event and from what I've read the negative pressure wave is almost exclusively returned through the pipe it came from and barely enters the others at all which is obviously contrary to Harvey's understanding. I didn't study this in school or anything so I can't swear what I've read is right and Harvey's understanding is wrong--it's clear there is a dissagreement by our sources though.

If Tom were to take a sawzall to those collectors and replace the body of them and some of the tubing behind them with 16" of 3.5 tubing they would be an excellent match for a race car running the ECUtune 264 exhaust cams and shift maps or a manual transmission.
