Bosal Headers vs Stock Manifolds Dyno Data - Torque & HP Comparison Chart

Bosal Headers article (p.4 of 6) torque-comparison graph and HP/TQ table: stock manifolds vs Brospeed/Bosal headers across 2000-7000 RPM; Bosal headers add a few HP/lb-ft (e.g. 125 vs 119 hp at 65 mph).

This is page 4 of a 6-page printout (dated 10/27/2001, from http://www.mtco.com/~westcj/Brian/bosal.htm) comparing exhaust header performance on a dynamometer. It is titled 'Bosal Headers' with a section heading 'Stock vs. Brospeed vs. Hotshot Tq Dyno Data.' A line chart plots corrected torque (lb-ft) against engine RPM (2000-7000) for three configurations: 'Dev '94, Hotshot I,' 'Brian '95, Stock Manifold,' and 'Brian '95, Brospeeds.' Torque peaks around 120-127 lb-ft near 5000 RPM and falls off toward 7000 RPM. Below the chart is a table listing vehicle speed (30-85 MPH), engine RPM (2466-6986), and horsepower and torque figures for stock manifolds versus Bosal headers at each point. The Bosal headers show consistent gains, e.g., at 60 MPH/4932 RPM stock produces 116 HP/124 lb-ft vs. 120 HP/128 lb-ft with the headers, and at 85 MPH/6986 RPM stock produces 99 HP/75 lb-ft vs. 109 HP/82 lb-ft. Handwritten notes next to each RPM value mark the HP and TQ gains (1-10 HP, 2-8 lb-ft). A partially legible footer heading references 'Absolute and percent gains in HP (Brospeed headers versus stock manifolds).' A reader learns the measured HP/torque improvement from aftermarket headers across the RPM range.

Frequently asked questions

How much horsepower do Bosal headers gain over stock manifolds in this dyno test?
Gains range from about 1 HP at 30 MPH (2466 RPM) up to 10 HP at 85 MPH (6986 RPM); e.g., at 65 MPH/5342 RPM stock made 119 HP vs. 125 HP with Bosal headers.
What torque gains do the Bosal headers show in the table?
Torque gains range from 2 to 8 lb-ft, e.g., 121 vs. 127 lb-ft at 45 MPH/3699 RPM and 90 vs. 98 lb-ft at 75 MPH/6164 RPM.
What setups are compared in the torque comparison chart?
Three configurations: 'Dev '94, Hotshot I,' 'Brian '95, Stock Manifold,' and 'Brian '95, Brospeeds,' plotted as corrected torque (lb-ft) vs. RPM from 2000 to 7000.
What is the peak horsepower shown with Bosal headers in the table?
The highest HP listed for Bosal headers is 125 HP at 65 MPH (5342 RPM); stock manifolds peaked at 119 HP at the same point.
Where did this dyno data come from and when was it printed?
The page footer shows the source URL http://www.mtco.com/~westcj/Brian/bosal.htm and a print date of 10/27/2001.
