OK, let the flaming begin IMO do not waste your money on headers. True duals are worth the money, but if your motor is going to remain relatively stock then headers will not help. The rams horn exhaust manifolds will work just as well with free flowing mufflers. Put on a good intake & a distributor kit. Take the rest & buy a bottle of Balvenie Portwood & a few CAOs & enjoy.

I dealt with Holleys when I had MOPARS, I could not stand them. I had great success with Carters. I am happy with the Q-Jet and will probably take your advice on the intake setup.
