New improved kit is nicer but the older kit was ok. Local guy running one for several years now. Knew other guy with lt1 sts kit. Rode in both cars. Lt1 guy blew his up but it was mistake on boost controller. Ls1 guy is doing ok on his.
Recommend some 60 pound injectors and upgraded fuel pump. Tuning of course.
Might need to upgrade your tranny sooner rather than later. 4l60 stock are not that great.
Some better valvesprings would be good idea to make sure no valve float.
And you could sell the headers and use the money for other things if you don't like them.
You should of course also have boost guage and wideband for tuning.

The sts sounds freaking awesome . Ground clearance on the early kit was not great and the location of the air filter is not great on the older kits. You may want to upgrade the oil scavenger pump not sure if the new kits have better one.

They are pretty easy to install and do keep engine maintenance simple. Not sure if they are legal in all states and you might get hassles some places since they dont' have a muffler.
