Just becaue someone asks for a set of headers you automatically assume they think they will go faster.. LOL.
Have you read any of my posts on that idea? Particuarly on a 496? Of course it won't go any faster but -
Maybe I have two leaky risers that possibly can't be replaced for quite a long time and i'm losing boat time while i type this. And maybe the kit i have right now won't interchange with any other pieces out there.
Maybe there is not another cast setup that makes me happy so i'm thinkin' bout chasing down a set of headers because it's the only other option for me.
I just did a full refresh: all bearings -mains, rods & cam, new rings, lifters, pushrods, bigger cam, all new rollers with new valve springs & seals but i need a new exhaust system that's not a huge pita to fit.
But who know's? Maybe I'll see that extra 75 hp from an exhuast change alone :-)
