Personally i think block hugger or "shortie" headers on an LS1 are a waste of time and money over the stock exhaust manifolds because they are only worth about 5-8RWHP.

I was thinking the same thing. I guess I'll just take out the dremel and get to work on the stockers. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I can't help you on the shortie block huggers. If you have clearence problems, you might consider Street & Performance mid-length headers. They fit just fine on my 82 Blazer...

I wish I could get results from Mark. I'm trying to get a set of billet pullies without holes in them. At first he was really helpfull, and interested in my conversion. Now he acts like he may never build them for me. I guess I'm stuck with stock for a while. Maybe I should have bought this instead of waiting...
