    What kinda mods? what type of exhaust are you running? Are you talkin about 1/4 time improvment?
    open headers will take away a lil bit of lowend torque, if you have an aftermarket catback then i wouldnt worry about running open headers.

    Open headers is annoying. My cammed car felt terrible across the powerband when I was open headers. I know it lost power down low, not sure what happened up top.
    How are you taking the exhaust down when you race??
    Or do you have cutouts??

    open headers is the way to go for the dragstrip.
