And nitrous doesn't explode, like your propane. Of course it's
oxygen does help things burn like the old people's oxygen bottles on

Re: Nitrous Oxide
I remember reading an article in one of the hot rodding magazines about a
guy who was a machinist who ran all the plumbing for the nitrous inside the
intake manifold so there was only one plain black, easily concealable,
rubber hose running to the manifold.

Nitrous Oxide is good, even though you know a guy who got killed with
it. Propane on the other hand is bad even though you have never
actually known anyone so much as singed. maybe if you put the N2O
system on the Propane engine they would average out.
And I thought the French were nutty.

Re: Headers
This is true only if the header is improperly designed for its application.
A properly designed header is as critical as picking the right camshaft. You
are right that some headers will hurt power in the desired RPM range. For a
4x4 vehicle, longer tubes with a small diameter and a long collector are the
best. The "shorty" or block hugger headers are all but useless. Most headers
are built based on ease of manufacture and also ease of installation. If you
want to learn a lot about headers, check out http://www.headersbyed.com. He
has an information packet and cassette or CD available that explained proper
header design. I have this packet, and it is very informative. I have also
seen a few cars running his stuff, and the guy knows his exhaust headers.
