Default a couple of simple questions

I'm getting pacesetter longtubes and I'm not sure weather to get the coated ones or not, is it worth the extra money? Also, what kind of numbers will i be able to see by doing a loyd elliot cam (228/235 .560/.560 109 LSA.), cold air, long tubes, elec. water pump, and pcmforless tune? Block and heads are stock for now because of money shortage.But i have to pull the motor this weekend to do a pan and front cover gasket so I thought I might as well give it an overhaul.(main and rod bearings, opti, water pump, plugs and wires, clutch, and all the other stuff)

All advise is greatly appreciated!!

i agree with the merv on the coated headers thats what i have looks good and it does keep the under hood temp down compared to the non painted headers worth every penny if you havent contacted lloyd he can give you alot of info on your build alot of people have said good things about him and his work

thanks, so with coated headers and all the other mods what do you think an estimated rwhp would be, i have the t-56 and stock gears with 26" wheels for now.

The Pace Setters I have are pretty good..just because they are a lower price than most doesn't mean they are shitty.
