You're joking right?That would make more horse power with Stock Exhaust Manifolds!! LOL.

Umm... Yes hence the Laugh Out LoudYou're joking right?
Ok, wasn't sure even with the lol......lolUmm... Yes hence the Laugh Out Loud
I was about ready to give out my first red xThat would make more horse power with Stock Exhaust Manifolds!! LOL.
That is NOT why I learned to change jets. Have been using multi carb intakes for over 30 yearsAm I the only one from the rust belt to have an engine die at a stop light in the winter from carburetor ice due to having removed the exhaust manifolds in favor of headers? The factory engineers had a lot to think about. Another thing is headers plus a low restriction exhaust system frequently resulted in a too lean A/F ratio in some parts of the curve, which resulted in a lot of us learning how to change jets
Did you have a heat stove on the headers that supplies heat to the carb for cold warm ups? If not, then that can be a problem. Heck, even in south Texas I ran one to help with that with that in the winter time.....and if you don't richen the carb once the headers are installed, then yeah, you will see a lean A/F ratio in most cases.Am I the only one from the rust belt to have an engine die at a stop light in the winter from carburetor ice due to having removed the exhaust manifolds in favor of headers?

Here ya go true Dyno tests headers vs HP exhaust manifolds. Our friend Nick has tested this for you.
If that isn't enough here is a 426 headers vs manifolds.

a disagree is an opinion. You can't argue against it, and you don't need to justify it. It's just an opinion.
It's like God.
My opinion is that He's real. But He has never spoken to me, and I've never seen Him.
Your opinion might be that there is no God, cuz He has never spoken to you, nor have you ever seen it him.
So each of us gives the other a big red X; now what? You can't argue against opinion, and you don't need to justify it.
Yet millions of people, over thousands of years, have slaughtered each other over this very opinion.
I do agree with most of this, specifically that a lot of is lost in this communication method. Most if not all of us have been taken out of context or someone has gotten offended by misreading our writings. Then of course this is the occasion word omission such "not" making a sentence come out the reverse of what we intended. In business, I would tell my staff the following "read what you wrote at least twice before hitting the send button". I highly encouraged them to take a break before hitting the send button as well because in our heads we think we wrote one thing when in fact we didn't.
As to the red X thing, I see that a bit differently; it just means someone disagrees with a statement, does not necessarily require an explanation and many times an offered explanation will only serve to further a "debate" when it is not necessarily needed. I understand that it can feel like a punk move, but I will be honest and say that I have done it and had it done to me, but I don't take offense to it.
As to the subject of this thread, I remain a bit confused by it to be honest (which I posted earlier).
