Headers for a 69 camaro Heidts subframe

I'm helping a friend with a LSA swap into a 69 camaro that is using the Heidts front subframe. Anyone that has used their front subframe, who's headers did you use and how pleased were you with the fit?

Does Heidt's offer any recommendations?

I did call Heidts and they said about Sanderson and Lemons Headers. Sanderson doesn't list nor Lemons doesn't list any for the heidts subframe. Sanderson only has shorty headers and Lemons are 1500 dollars for steel uncoated headers. This is why I'm checking on here to see if anyone has used any other headers.

Is the engine going to stay stock?

At this point I think he is only going with headers, intake housing porting, smaller pulley and a tune. Not getting into the motor.

Supercharged engines tend to not be very sensitive to the headers. Holley makes some tight fitting manifolds that have a 2.5" outlet. Might be a good option.
