Worth switching from one LT to another LT header?

Worth switching from one LT to another LT header?
Currently running SLP LTs. I've been told by my tuner that if I went with something like even Pacesetters I'd pick up ~10rwhp over SLPs. Also, I will get more than 1" clearance LOL.
So, is it worth it to switch headers or they're all about the same and not waste time/money to switch?

If you want better ground clearance, yes. Most headers net around the same hp, so as far as that goes, it's kindof mute. Keep in mind if you get a mild steel coated header it'll still rust, and those slp ones are stainless, so they'll last forever, but ground clearance with them is murder.

If you're planning on having the car till the wheels fall off AND have problems scraping the SLP's, switch em out to stainless. If you're only gonna have it for a few more years and have problems scraping, switch em for pacesetters. If you have no problem scraping, it aint broke so don't fix it!

SLP tuned length headers are designed for more torque/power under the curve but are not as good at high RPM/peak power. Their new longtubes are similar to the kooks, QTP. AR and provide more peak HP. So will you gain peak hp - yes, is that usable HP - depends on how you use the car. You will as stated above gain ground clearance.

Thanks for all the inputs guys! I've had the SLP LTs on since 2001 ... I guess I'll run these until I've bottomed out enough times and rip em off LOL maybe not until then, but I guess I've had them on this long so there's no real need to change them now.
thanks again.
thanks again.
