Edelbrock or Jet-Hot headers
I just can't seem to decide right now. The Jet-Hots are a good header from what I've seen, but the New Edelbrock w/TI-tech look good also. The Edelbrocks do have a few extra thing going for them that might be better than the Jet-Hots: New TI-tech coating, Merge collectors, Stepped design (1 /3/4 to 1 7/8), Great price, and a better ORY merge.

If I get the edelbrock I'm curious as to how much it should cost to weld the collectors to the headers (about 8 welds in all.)

Thanks for the advice. I decided to get the Edlebrocks afterall. I was able to get them for roughly $495 shipped to my door. That is for the Headers and ORY. They have the new Ti-Tech coating on them and I just have to see how they work out. If the coating doesn't hold up or the underhood temps are too much, I can still Jet-Hot coat these and still be under the price I got from Jet-Hot.
As far as the Header goes, I believe the Edelbrocks will prove in the long run to be the better choice for headers. Right now with my mods, the difference would be +/- 5 hp ft/lbs, but when I start with Heads and Cam they should prove to be able to make more power. The 2 points are the stepped design and the merge collector. Also the 3 1/2 collectors would work great with true dual or a 3 1/2 ory to a 4" cat-back.
I'm going to try to get back to back dyno runs going from Stock Manifold to the edelbrock. There is a dyno in town that I could use. The only thing that might affect me getting the dyno runs would be fundage. I have the mods in my sig, and no LS6 intake, 85 maf, cam or a good tune. I use a diablo sport for now untill I can save up for HP tuners.
