Default Pacesetter longtubes vs texas speed 1 7/8 Longtubes

Im getting ready for a cam swap and need to buy longtubes. Ive gotten it between pacesetters or tsp longtubes. Which headers would i benifit more from? Ive got a friend that says his tsp longtubes hit his steering arm every now and then and ive heard that pacesetters kill O2 sensor buts those are the only downsides ive heard about either.

Seriously take a look at edelbrock long tubes. If you put a set of ARH and edelbrock headers next to eachother I wouldnt be able to tell the difference (other than arh=SS, edelbrock is coated) down to the velocity spike in the collectors!

Pacesetters wouldn't kill O2s as opposed to any other.

TSP did a test in the dyno section of these very header choices against each other. Do a search

I would go with the TSP headers. From the dyno testing shown above, the TSP headers actually make more power on a stock heads/cam combo from about 3000 on. With the addition of a cam, your power gains between the headers will actually be greater. Also, we have only seen steering shaft clearance issues on cars with older, sagging motor mounts. Cars with newer or poly mounts have had zero issues. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks!
Jon

LOL, what? Any LT's can kill O2's if you don't run any pipe off the collector. Has nothing to do with brand. Never hear of people running other brands & constantly kill O2's.

Yes...Thats exactly what I said...Someone said Pacesetters kill O2s, and I said they won't kill them any more than any other type of header...
