Headers (average hp gain?) I've recently had 3.73 gears installed (2000 ws6 ram air convertible/auto. trans.), whisper lid, MAF, high flow bellows, performance tuned (Predator), and higher flow muffler/rear pipes installed. My vehicle is a daily driver, so I don't think a hot cam or supercharger is a viable option. The last 2 planned changes are pulley change (8 to 10 hp?), and headers (I haven't decided which ones yet). I know it depends upon brand, etc., but what should one expect the average horsepower gain to be with the installation of headers?
Re: Headers (average hp gain?) How bout trying out the new Edelbrock LT's, they are new and I don't want to be the guinnie pig. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> All kidding aside, they do look like they would be pretty good-cheap too.

Re: Headers (average hp gain?) That is what my mechanic told me. I was shocked! And thats all he does is domestic performance upgrades.
When they get put on, I'll put a post up and let everyone know.
