For all the people complaining about the wait on these headers, look at the date that this thread was created: 8-30-07. The final decision to make these headers didn't happen until enough votes for what type was most in demand had accumulated in the poll, which was even another month after that.

Taking that and the OP's last status update into account, if these headers debut in February, that's only about a 5 month lead time, which is friggin warp speed compared to how long some other companies who've developed parts for the LT1 have taken.

Anybody remember the MSD Pro-Billet Optispark before it came out? It only took about 2 years to R&D from the time they announced they were making it till the time it finally hit the market, and even still ended up having the release date pushed back 3 times.

Don't even get me started on the Edelbrock Airgap Intake farce...

I've talked to several guys who own the LS1 version of these headers, and they've all had nothing but good things to say about them, which is reassuring considering how **** alot of LS1 owners can be about the quality of their parts. I wouldn't expect anything different with the LT1 version.

Even with this ridiculously long wait , I'm still pretty stoked about these being made.

I am not complaining.
My headers are falling off the car, literally.
I am willing to buy a pre-production set if I could.
I really want these but I doubt my old ones will last till their release.

I agree. If he rushes them and they suck, people are going to be all over him for that, so let him have the time it takes to make it right.

Might as well take me off of any waiting list there might be. I'm going with a manifold instead of a header..............
