Default well i did it

i change the 1 3/4 pace headers for 1 7/8 ARH man it was a night and day difference well on me it was cause my exhaust ports were bigger than the header port so it was a ristriction for the motor well my set up is a 6.2 with p&p heads milled and full bolt ons and also a custon grind cam..... i notice that the trucks goes spinning 1st and second with this simple swap on D from a 30 roll which it didnt use to do that it did but i would have to drop it to first and it will do it............ also one of the spark plugs is chipped bad and its missfiring pretty bad see if i change it soon......................

dang...I believe you are the first to report the change from 1 3/4 to 1 7/8. Also, the ARH has a much better collector. Ive seen a report on an SBC that gained 12 hp going to a good merge collector over a standard collector. Do you think you gained any highway cruising power with the switch?

I always got a wicked pinging/ticking noise in the cab at high load in 4th. Supersub says he gets it as well with his 1 7/8 ARH's and it bugs the heck out of him.
