The long tube Hedman headers should give you good low end torque and 10 to 20 horses. I know several around my neck of the woods who swear by them although there are other popular brands on the forum. I think the long tube design flows good and creates enough back pressure for good exhaust scavenging. Lets hear what the others think.

For $400 you might look into these tri-y headers:

They will also emphasize torque and with only two tubes at the collector, won't hurt ground clearance. They also have a nice ball and socket connection. Joe

Ahoy Captain. Dynomax ceramic coated headers were a breeze to install
on my 77 when I had it. After an engine build, an extremely lean condition at start up turned the headers red hot....they still retained their new look even after two years and thousands of miles. Good product, good price, great fit....no problems.

Any comments about Hedman?
The Dynomax Corvette SB Cerama-Coat fit & flow great, much better than is commonly known. Have been rec. them & many have them now.
The Hedman BB headers are very good & rec.
