Default coolest (temp) headers?

Will Jet Hot long tubes with their best coating be cooler (under hood) than stainless? Looking to keep temp down between rounds..Thanks

Jet hots should be cooler, but headers lose heat so rapidly after shutdown that it really doesn't matter either way. If you're wanting to stay cool between rounds, just open your hood and let them cool off.

jet hots will control engine temp better then stainless and heat will disipate quicker off of the heads, as stated above opening hood is the best. FYI Jet hot coating will flake off, I just had my LT1 headers redone for a local sale, check the diff....

After





They do stand by there coatings, I got a free recoat!

The GTO comminity is big into coated Kooks, so I would assume coated stainless would be your best bet.
