Only if you are going to go to a big engine or a big power adder. Otherwise, a waste of time and money IMO.

Even with a Stage II Heads/Cam setup I would still stick with the Macs. It's just not cost effective for the gains you'll see (if any) to switch from the Macs to the FLP's or Hookers or Dynatechs. If it were a big cubed motor, than that's a different story.

oOoly > Where did you get your mac headers from? I ordered some new headers (ceramic coated) from Macperformance about 2 weeks ago and still no headers? How long did you wait? Where did you order from? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
