I don't really know I just wanted them, when I was 17 I had a 57 chev that I put fender well headers on, its just kind of a nostalgic thing with me. I ordered them from E.M. Sorry if I bored you with this, but so many of my friends thinks its the dumbest thing they have ever heard of. Thanks

That's a good story sounds like a really cool car but a 64, that would have been a brand new car to me. Just a little more when I bought the 57 it didn't have a motor or tran in it so I bought a 4 speed out of a 68 Chevelle and I bought a 327 / 375hp brand new I put a hi rise manafold and 750 holley. the only reason I'm saying this we both did kind of the same things. I don't know about you but I wish I still had that car but at the time got married and couldn't afford the gas anymore I think it was around .55 cents a gallon.

Dennis,
I'm not to far behind I'll be 60 in September, I just guessed at the price of gas I really don't remember, like a lot of things that have quit working. Be good and enjoyed chating with you........Ron

An engine is an air pump. The more you efficiently pump air in / out the higher performance you can achieve.
If your going to spend the money to add headers I'd suggest at least adding a cool air box and 52mm TB ath the same time for not much more $$'s. A performance ignition box wouldn't hurt either. The you can go from there (e.g. 1.6RR's, Cam, Heads, Gears, etc.)
As with any performance component addition it would be good to upgrade the chip or ECU to tune for the upgrades.
I would also consider TPiS headers and Random Technology CAT's / pipes.

i do have the dyno sheet somewhere,im in the middle of moving right now so ill have to find them.from the headers i have 2.5 tubing to x-pipe,2.5 tubing to 3"flowmaster super 40s.they should call them drone masters though.before i did my gear change it would hit the sweet spot of its drone potential right at 70mph,any way now its good on the highway and drones at 40.you know how people say your gonna loose torque on the bottom when you run those big primarys,well theyre right.but the pay off happens around 2800 when everything is up.my advice is this.stock primary size is best for people who have tall gears,and dont plan on doing much in the future performance wise.the larger primary size works good for people who have lower gears and know that they are going to be doing head/cam,more cubic inches,and other major motor projects.i did pick 18lb/ft of tq at 4000rpm.

Cool, thanks for the info! Maybe one day I will get some headers (if I ever need new cats, I will just get headers instead).
