Headers won't help you gain anything noticable in horsepower and give you nothing but headaches unless you spend big money for some "top of the line" stuff. Just my 2 cents worth though,

I know, from all the blown gaskets I replaced and busted nuckels. Finally gave up and went back to manifolds.
Just my $.02.

the sanderson headers look pretty heavy duty i might look at those. i also read in an old thread about blackjack headers. originally i was just gona pick up some hooker super comps or maybe some hedman streets, but i might choose otherwise now. | | |

IMHO You can't beat the Sanderson headers for fit and quality. They actually make a cast header design which has been around for years and has a good durability record. They can also be hi-temp coated if you want looks as well as performance. Call their Tech line they're very helpful.
