QTP's with the high velocity merge collector...or american racing headers which are kinda overpriced but thats just my opinion, to be honest im very happy with my pacesetters bought for 400 bucks and i really couldnt justify spending 500+ dollars more for very minimal gains on my stockish motor just wasnt worth it to me.

but if you want someone to make the choice for you, pacesetter or bbk and be done with it. best fitment period.

you are going to get 90 different answers to this question. in the end it goes like this. stay away from SLP headers unless you want horrible fitment and practically no ground clearance. the rest of the brands all pretty much perform the same with minor differences that really arnt worth the price between them IMO. keep in mind the larger the collector and primary, the more power the headers can make. other than that its really up to you. most 1 3/4 primary headers are pretty much the same exact thing just under a different company name. alot of ppl here will push the kooks 1 7/8 primary headers on you but they are ridiculously overpriced and honestly unless you plan on having a 500hp ls1 in the next few months then you dont need them. if your just doing some minor bolts ons for a little more power-- A. you wont feel a difference between 1 3/4 and 1 7/8, and B. but your wallet will.

Thanks for the info and truth be told your right about getting different answers for headers, I'm assuming with a new camshaft, headers, intake should give me about 430 horse somewhere close to that ballpark so i just want to know what headers will be good for that set up

Typically you won't get over 400rwhp with a cam unless you go with a very large one. 430 is probably a typical street heads/cam setup. Unless you are talking about flywheel hp (advertised hp on cars from factory) then you should hit ~430hp
usnfenix hit the nail on the head about the headers, not much left to say on that one haha
