I have speedway tube headers, and a fenton dual intake. I am unsure about the bungs for the heat plate tubes. I think they need to be drilled out in ordser to allow the heat through the tubes. It might be that the heat will make it up anyway. Have you guys drilled these? Should I?

If exhaust doesn't flow thru the tubes they won't do anything. I bet they are not drilled in case coolant is used to warm the intake.

Speedway Headers?

Jim Carter's Fenton exhaust manifold warming kit should work.

If your headers have not been drilled and threaded, you'll have to do it yourself. If you search in this forum on +heat +dual, you'll find many postings about heating intake manifolds.

Yes sir, those are my headers. I already have a heat plate, and everything is threaded, but the headers are not drilled in the center of the threaded bungs. I thought maybe the heat radiated from the header walls, and wanted to check befrore drilling holes.

Use a pipe nipple as a drill bushing to protect the threads.
