anybody got any tricks to getting better performace on a 200 i just can't bring myself to spend $300+ for a header ,I already did the duraspark 11 dizzy and that make a great improvemnet thanks ron
Although it dosent sound right, you can build more power and cheaper, the more cylinders you have. A V8 is much cheaper than a six, 4 banger ricer motors are real expensive......but ever price a built 2 cyl Harley motor????? Unfortunately in your case, the header will probably give you more bang for the buck and is a must before you go into head work or a cam.
If you watch ebay there is I6 headers on there quite often that go for purdy cheap, you can also try the "buy sell trade" forum on www.fordsix.com . A 2 or 2 1/2 inch exhaust system will be a nice upgrade to go along with the header. http://fordsix.com/shop.php http://fordsix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32577
shave the head .060 that will give you about a full point compression increase(if memory serves me right) get a port divider for the 3/4 exahust port .... and your gonna have to break down and get a header to pick up more than a handfull of extra horses
