Default Which headers will benifit me?

I have a 02 z28 w/:

3200 stall
comps 216/220 .525 . 535 114lsa
lid
pulley
tune
100 shot nx
and that pretty much sums it up

My buddy has jet coated mac and a flowmaster collector mod with the mac y pipe. $350...

But, which would benifit me more. I don't plan on getting heads anytime soon unless I win the lottery. Do you think that macs would be just a good as the LT's, with this setup.?

LTs will give you a lot more ... and yes in theory all LTs put down about the same power but its not true...

I got the QTP stainless since i have heard of them putting down really good numbers and wont rust

Macs are good yes, there will be gains for sure....but QTP long tubes would be better of course.

macs are real good considering they are not long tubes.
one of the sponsors has macs and runs 9s.
if youre not looking for max h.p and getting a good deal on the macs, get them.
i was gonna get macs, but coated pacesetters and y pipe come out to be cheaper than macs.

QTPs are one of the few I heard being used on lowered cars. Not to be a dick but JRP talks about this subject also in his sticky at the top of the external engine section.

Very good, my QTPs tuck up higher than stock at most points, and clearly better than my friend's FLPs too. And there is NO contact with the body/undercarriage either, perfect combo of both ground AND body clearance.
