You shouldn't although if there is water feeding the exhaust at idle you might.

I set up a hand control valve at my seat and turn off the water to my exhaust when I off plane.

Some use the spring loaded T valve, if the spring goes weak like the one I used to have then it's a problem.

You can get OT for $500, probably some logs that would work for you, but not a set of good through transom headers. You'll probably notice a performance improvement with OT headers, but it will be much louder than you're used too.

I'm cool with the noise. Where can I find headers for a small block at $500.

When I wrote that I forgot we're talking small block. You'll have to do some searching.

I find them all the time. Do you really want headers?

I may have a line on some risers  (which are the same for small block as they are for a big block) and I need to call a friend in the great northwest to see if he has some logs and risers. I think he has some from a Red Line engine he blew up.

I'm just tossing around the idea of headers. To be honest I'd rather stick to manifolds. The risers that you're talking about, will they fit those glenwood manifolds I have? What would be your opinion (logs, risers vs. headers) with my setup?
Thanks in advance!

Your cam is not a lot larger than a stock performance deal.

You should be more than fine with the right risers. Worst case scenario, go with OT pipes on your logs.

I was on the phone with Glenwood yesterday and those particular manifolds will not work with their OT pipes. The risers they sell for those manifolds are $460 a pair and not in stock until December. Now I'm wondering if another manufacturers OT pipes will work. This whole deal just sucks. :banghead:

I pulled the plugs last night and they all looked fine just a little black. This weekend I will pressure test the cooling system just to make sure I don't have anything bad going on with the block or heads.
