i saw jermaines EF and saw how hacked up his x member was and it made me weary of it. even boxing it back in, i still think it wouldn't be near as strong as it should be.

I would not notch a subframe and then not box it back in. I'll go to my storage this week and post a pic of my subframe - but I'd much rather have a traction bar - it's more space than a notch and of course you can tune the launch and wheel-hop. A properly boxed in frame is as strong or stronger than OEM (trust me - I come from mini-trucking where notches/airride/hydros was my life before I moved into SpoCom.

Scotty tuned my 403's and I passed emissions with flying colors. Even better than I did stock!

I hear a lot about the Kidd headers.
What makes them so great and how do they help make so much more power than other headers?

They are a spinoff of a very popular design by RMF (Randy Monroe). They work - PERIOD. And they are affordable. I've always had serious headers - and 10 years ago this kind of performance was $800 and 3 weeks to a month of waiting.

Traction bars are expensive tho, which essentially makes that $300 kidd header double in price.

i know i know, you gotta pay to play, but still....lol


AND, most of the traction bars i've seen for EF's have TERRIBLE ground clearance.

ha, or you could spend $$$ for a real rmf and a traction bar and bleed more.

^^ LOL. These kids dont' realize how EASY they have it now - LOL. People will complain about any and everything when it's basically AFFORDABLE and GIVEN to them these days - LOL. Sheesh.

For clearance on the KiddRacing headers hit his site - do some research on H-T man. THE INFORMATION IS OUT THERE!!! When I was dragging notches down the road in big shot single cam EFs and EGs in the 90s there was no H-T - there were VERY few accessible aftermarket parts (my hatch had a modified 5 liter nitrous plate kit) we figured it out. To figure out what was TOO much we had to blow shit up - rebuild it and then back it off a little the 2nd time around. You guys have it easy.

haha, fixed

how strange.

LOL i'm just a broke college kid j. it takes a hot minute to build something on a poor mans budget.

I'll check Kidd's site later.
Right now, your earlier comment has me researching DIY traction bars for my EG.

I do agree. These young guys have no idea how good they have it, now.
God, the things I F'd up before we had web forums to do research, first! lol

baby j, you dont... still have any 403 or 404 cams that you wanna sell, do you?

How are the Kidd headers for ground clearance, though?
