Which headers? I was going to buy Pacesetter coated longtubes, but now I have the opportunity to buy Hooker Super Comps Coated from someone for only $400 and they are brand new. Which ones should I get? Also will they both fit with the TSP true dual system?

If the Hookers were the regular Comps I would say it doesn't matter but a set of Super Comps for $400 is a great deal. On the other hand $400 is a little high for the Pacesetters.

Hookers will make more power over Pacesetters. I just saw a dyno chart and the Hooker super comps made the exact same power throughout the entire curve as 1 3/4 -> 1 7/8 stepped Edelbrocks, and the Edelbrocks make the Pacesetters look like a toy. I've also seen a dyno of QTP's making 8 rwhp peak and ~30 rwtq @ 3100 rpms over Pacesetters, so I know that Pacesetter longtubes leave power to be had on the table, even on stock internals motors.
Not to mention Pacesetters are Made in Mexico, and while they're decent for the money, if you're able to get Hookers for the same price as Mexican headers, don't pass it up IMO.
Most people on this board will probably vote Pacesetter simply because they're the most popular header due to cost alone, but no one should argue that Hookers are a superior brand and design. If money isn't a factor in the decision, I don't see how anyone can vote Pacesetter without being biased.

Here's a comparison of QTP vs. Pacesetter, no other changes
Here's what a set of Edelbrocks look like compared to Pacesetters:
You'd think the Pacesetters came in a Happy Meal.
Here's a graph of Edelbrock 1 3/4" stepped to 1 7/8" headers vs. Jethots (which are exactly the same as Hooker's just with a different coating)
No real gains anywhere in the powerband by switching to Edelbrock stepped LT's, and Edelbrocks make Pacesetter look like toys. It's painfully obvious that Pacesetters leave a lot on the table by the QTP graph. This ain't rocket science, it's common sense. You get what you pay for. Pacesetter are good for the price, but they leave a lot on the table. That's why they're bottom of the barrel headers.
This is all well-known information.
