one bonus about propane too is if the oil system could support it it would run upside down... if we had hills or mountains here in north dakota i could go rock climbing in it and not worry about stalling out because im off-camber

bronc, you mentioned some headers at graveyard.com, have you heard how those headers are or who makes em, they are quite a bit cheaper than the L&L lifetimes, 70$ cheaper and i haven't heard much, they have a 1 7/8 w/3.5. Is the L&L worth the extra $.

thanks

I'm expecting a build between 400 and 450 hp, a mild build in the 460 sense, what would you suggest.

the l&l's will be ok for that perf range.they are a very nice header that will last a long time,probably longer than almost any other header.the guy that bought mine is still running them and i bought them around eight years ago.what heads are you running?
