Joel, there is more to street cars than Wide Open Throttle. This seems to be where all your misconception generates from. The engine must first get to 6000+rpm. Do you argue that a properly sized header and exhaust system won't out perform one that is too large from 1500 rpm until the limits of the engine? I use the exaggerated generalization because it just takes your way of thinking to the next level of wrong. So in your world you can neither over carb or over size the exhaust? Lets all get a pair of dominators on a tunnel ram and put them on a stock 302 with 2.5 inch header tubes and 4 inch exhaust. Yes it's a bit extreme but compared to what you come up with at times it's just a few levels up on the wrong scale. While my exaggeration may be on level 13 of wrong you are still on about the 8th floor.
