If you have the cash go for the ARHs, if you are going for a budget build or something then pacesetters are really good for the $$$.

Pacesetters/Ebay headers and use the rest of the money to pay fo the new cam or some drag radials
As far as which headers are the best
Kooks, QTPs, ARH are al the top tier headers but for the difference in $ and negligible gain you money is better spent elsewhere..

If you plan on going with a stroker or a blower in the near future you might want to invest in a set of 1 &7/8 headers now so you don't have to upgrade later on.

On the cheaper side i voted pacesetters, If you want something better then I've heard good things about the ARH's...

Vindicator is a big cam for a 346 and will love higher RPM and an extremely well flowing exhaust... Might be worth a few hundred more for some 1 7/8 headers, but on another hand you wouldn't be leaving much more on the table by stepping up to a nice set of $800.00 headers.

If it was my decision I'd buy some ebays/pacesetters and put the extra 500 I saved towards some AFR205's or TFS215's. Your average LS6 heads go for ~1200. Add the 500 you saved on the headers and your damn close to the price of a nice set of heads that will put you above 450RWHP...

I know Vengence has has a few Vindicator/TFS&AFR H/C combos break the 500RWHP mark...
