Yes, DI Performance makes some and so does Murff Racing. Your going to be look at close to $1000 either way.

Wow, that's a lot. I've heard they don't really help performance that much but don't really know.

The only gains are slightly lower EGTs and a little quicker spool up. The big gain is SOUND!!!!! They sound wicked!

I'm getting some mainly for the spool time. they help spool up a couple hundred RPM faster and i'm going to be needing to spool as fast as i can

I'd bet they'd make a big difference on high horsepower trucks that turn 4400 rpm or more.

I actually talked to him about it a few weeks before the start of that thread. my kit should be here in another week or 2. I haven't ordered the headers yet, but that is on the list later on down the road.

Glenn, you've heard cody's sled truck right??? it has headers on it..

AHHH, That did sound good. Are the headers a help in pulling? Stupid question, Cody was pulling!! I'm not spoiling quick enough but I'm thinking that when I finally get the bellows on that should help. I'm also thinking about doing something with the intake plemiums (sp), what's out there for them if I can twist your arm a little.

You'd be hard pressed to get a HEUI engine to turn 4400 rpm or more and actually make any power. The injectors just aren't fast enough yet, but they are getting there.

On the plenums check out the cast aluminum 3" plenums from DI Performance. They are real nice plenums and since they are cast he can sell them cheaper than you can buy the billet 3" setups for.
