Watson Headers/Haibeck Chip

After putting the headers on, the trap speed didn't change. The ECM was backing off the timing. After modifying the Sprak Advance tables, I was able to pick up about 4mph in trap speed. FYI. I would do a "before" and "after" and a scan.

I don't have the equipment to do a scan, but have numerous ET slips with 109 mph trap speeds. We'll see what the new traps are in the spring. I would be happy with 113 mph.

Ham,

I imagine your trap is limited by elevation. In Chicago, I'm at about 800ft.
Stock exhaust, ran a 111.6 mph. With headers, ran 115.6mph after tuning although I don't think I'm finished tweaking it.

Yep, I went to the PNW Gathering and ran at Portland Raceway. My traps were 114 then.
