| + | One thing that has not been discussed is the unequal firing order from one bank to the other. I did a research paper on Exhaust tuning when I was in college, A Jaguar racing engine had 105% volumetric efficiency,,, the torque peaks vs rpm looked like the grand teton mountains Start with a sheet of graph paper and draw the engine in plan view then draw a line 8 blocks long from cylinder no 1 . a line 7 blocks from cylinder firing next.... 6 blocks from the cylinder that fired third etc and so on following the firing order. . You will see the lines are not uniformly distributed , the ford 63 indy engine had the "bundle of snakes" exhaust system on the top with pipes crossing over to have 4 equally spaced exhaust charges in each exhaust header, some race car headers had pipes crossing under the trans to get equal charging in each header | ||
