All tested with a stock engine at first. Then with stage 2 heads and Hammer cam + tune.

Look at this Here
Or Here!
Go to www.ozemail.com.au ( make sure it is on Aust) and type Pacemaker headers, if you just type the following type's you will find heap's.

I have a set of HPC coated Pacemakers on my LS1. A lot of the companies pulling big power figures will recommend these. Not cheap though

Hope this helps

What size are your Pacemakers? And are they 4 into one or 4-2-1?

Pacemaker are tri wire, 4-2-1, 1 3/4inch primary.
We got a new company building a set with 1 5/8 inch primary, apparently more torque from the smaller set, and 7 KW gain.

Genie are doing a set of 17/8" primary's, 4 into one for my drag race only LS1 car. 15/8 to 13/4 would be good street ones, the former for no head/cam work.
