I'm still trying to figure out why SC's lose boost with headers compared to stock stuff. Everything is before the intakes. From what I can see, it would be a huge benefit as is will reduce back pressure and increase the velocity of the exhaust. Not only that, but shouldn't the scavenging effect of the headers have a positive impact in preventing back flow into the combustion chambers? I'm wondering if it's because there is decreased back pressure throughout the combustion process. This means that there is less resistance as the supercharger is compressing the air into the intake manifold. I'm also assuming this does not affect positive displacement superchargers. Can someone tell me if I'm on the right track? I've been trying to google my a$$ off and haven't found a concrete answer besides that it happens.

Edit: Didn't want to throw another new post down.

So I talked to the Wife about my intentions. I threw out $10,000 and she didn't flinch. She said she doesn't care what I get so long as everything we need is done. IE new floors, countertop, paint, back yard, bedroom set. So I'm in the clear.

So far, the poll is kinda close, but still not enough votes for anything decisive. So far, GTM TT is in the lead. I also emailed them regarding options, as they are probably the best source of information.
