Look at Sanderson headers...they don't come any better. They have the thickest flanges so the bolts won't back out. Long-tube headers give better performance...block hugger design is a nice compromise between stock cast iron manifolds and giving working room the long-tube style lacks.

I found Heddman's to fit very well, don't cost much but they have thinner tubing and flanges then the hooker supercomp.
Heddman also makes and elite header that uses the heavier walled tubing, flanges and are coated at a very good price.
