Header Heat

[Tic's60]

While the subject of headers is up. Does anyone have good info on how hot headers get in a street car? I found some NASCAR stuff but I don't think I'll be running the ol chevy at 6700 -7000 for 10 laps :eek:

thanks

Temperatures that you will see on headers are around 500 to 600 degrees with headers that are not powder coated. Powder coated headers will cut that heat range in half. I will never run a set that are not coated.
