What about a different header make or type? I have tried a few myself over the years but maybe I am going in the wrong direction. Please clarify.
I really think those headers are fantastic looking, I would assume you need the long runners for the torq off the line, given that well you are a nice meaty stroker :P I think they look great, I'm not sure why folks are dissing them, I guess they only like show crome?

I agree with the weld comment, those welds are so smooth. Very nice looking unit if you ask me. I'd love to see your Dyno numbers as a whole for the setup it looks really trick.

As for DC headers? Well AEM's CAI that I'm running leaves much to be desired in my book for fit and finish so on that note I'll pass on their Carbon steel, quasi ceramic coat headers. RMF make a header for the F23A1? I speculate (and this is just me) that most DC headers have useful life of 3-4yrs before they crack at the flange. This may be good for others, but not me.

My other question is, did the heat from the header cook the alt?

2.6 hhmmm I think I recall your 4th gen in a back issue of one of my mags from a while ago.....I think I remember the two-tone paint and lack of a rice-E wing, shame on you for no wing
