    Default Vee headers

    Hello folks,

    I have a couple of Crusader Vee Sport racers. One which runs an 1835cc Type 1 engine and the second which is under restoration which will run a Porsche 912 engine. Both of these are vintage race cars. A picture of the VW based car is attached.

    My question is this. At the Lime Rock Historics a couple of SCCA vee racers were in my paddock looking at the VW based car and thought I am losing hp due to the inefficient header/exhaust. I would like to have new ones fabricated for both the VW and the Porsche based cars.

    Is there any recommendation for someone in the New England area that knows vees and can engineer the best system?

    Thanks

    Eric

    Default VSR!

    Steve Pastore, VSR does a beautiful job. He did my headers on two different Vees.

    He is out of Danbury CT.

    His name keeps on coming up so I guess I got my answer. I'll contact him after the runoffs.

    Thanks!

    Not in the northeast, but check with BRP. Mike makes some of the best headers out there.

    Frankly, I don't think you're loosing all that much. Most vee systems are based on single carb, 1200 motors with lots of restrictions and higher rpm than your likely to be running. Save your money for some Dunlops.

    Eric,

    We met at Limerock over labor day weekend (orange beetle, white/green/blue vee) I spoke to Steve about some of the modifications we talked about and passed your contact info to him.
    Cheers
    Jeff
