"no one said you had to buy them."

Bret, ahh now I see. You are still trying to sell the headers. I have been simply arguing that there is ZERO proof that long tube headers add substantial tourque to a Contour. Perhaps they DO, unfortunately, your tuner's professed skill & your bet does adds not a shread of proof. But your offer to put money on it IS interesting. Perhaps you could guarentee the buyer the 20/20 minimum gain OR you would pay for the headers/install/dyno tune? Might move thoes suckers a bit faster eehh.
