Default Header swap

Would changing from ceramic coated Pacesetter LT's to either Kooks or QTP's make a diffrence on HP and most important at the track with my set-up? I have all the bolt-ons.

Probably not enough to justify the cost - I'm in the middle of swapping my Kooks 1-3/4" for Kooks 1-7/8" primaries, but I'm doing it planning on more cubes in the future.

That is what I was wondering. Spending money on QTP or Kooks to only see a .10 gain on the 1/4 mile I think won't be wort it. Or worst, run the same damn times.

Some swear by the 1 7/8s for every ls motor. But in my opinion, based off of the specs in your sig, put the money elsewhere for now. You will see more bang for your buck. Down the road, after you've done a cam/heads etc, then consider the larger header. They should also net you a larger gain at that point.

You might think down the road as stated but for your car now one set of headers is about as good as another.
