Possibly. a few people have had gains, but most have abandoned the JBP for a midlength header. There was a bad batch of spaghetti headers (JBP) in a group buy and someone tested the gains from all avail headers at the time and the JBP lost power. Granted I have NO personal experience and only info I have to go by is deathscythes header comparison thread

the second group buy had the good batch.
the first one on the other hand had some types of problems.
the only reason deathscythe was losing power was cuz he was making well over 300hp and for power like that one should get a header with 1.75 in. primaries.

all you need is rotated tranny mounts, if i remember corretly solid motor mounts kinda reduces the effects that rotated tranny mounts has on wheel hop.

True. Angle is thrown off with a solid motor mount. Just get the rotated mounts
