Get the Armor coated Pacesetter LT's & TSP ORY package. Thats what I got. Great price for both. Here is a pic of my race style LT's.

I just put on the coated pacesetters from TSP they fit great and where easy to install I didn't have to grind the tab on the block or anything. I also had all the spark plugs in on both sides when I slid them in. I did have the thru bolt on the motor mounts loose since I did the poly motor mounts at the same time. Which I highly reccomend you do since it is 100 times easier while the exhaust is off. I used a pacestter ORY from summit(TSP was out of their ORY's) but mine fits great doesn't bang at all(I also have a poly tranny mount) and I never had to adjust it since we intially put it on.

I also cleaned and reused my stock steel gaskets instead of the ones that came with the headers, and I haven't had any leaks.

If you want (and can afford) to spend the money, then get kooks stainless steel headersIf you're more budget concious, then the coated Pacesetters will do the job just the same
Bang for the buck, the coated pacesetters get the vote
