Air foil = pointless.

Ss for headers, I recommdend Dynetech headers, very good flow and you lose no ground clearence with these headers.http://www.lgmotorsports.com/shop/pr...53ee13683289f9

Those are good headers but I also like Hooker and TPiS's.

You gotta pay more for the better flow. I remember someone did a comparsion on Hooker and Dyantechs on CZ28.com and the Dynatechs out performed the Hookers in every possible way.

hmmm. well i would have to see the results to belive it, i am not a big fan of dynatechs, dont hear to many good things about them, but also u wana look at the quality of the flange of the header, so u dont burn out as many gaskets, bc header gaskets are not the easiest thing in the book to do, but try to find some with atleast a 1/4 inch thick flange on them it would be nice!

exactly with the cheap flange most companies use the gaskets blow and great a lean condition, dynatech is an entry level company from what I understand

Header gaskets aren't that hard to do. They look like it but once you do it a couple times it only takes about 10 minutes to do.

I had BBK headers on the first car, Edelbrocks on this car. Both of which I can say I like. If you get the BBK's get the ceramic coated ones. The chrome starts to discolor after about 5 minutes-

Edelbrock ceramic Jet-Hot coated headers with Y-pipe
Mufflex custom 3 1/2" intermediate pipe
High-Flo cat
High-Flo muffler

It all adds up to a bigger number but well worth it for the LT1 (=
