Default Got my new FLP long tube headers today

They made my JBA's look like they belong on a power wheels. I'll probably install them in about two weeks. I'm sending my heads out for stage II or III porting but can't decide who to go with. I was thinking between ARE, Absolute Speed, and More Performance Inc. Anyone care to help me decide?

Mine are going to be here either today or tomorrow. I should be putting them on early next week or if that doesn't happen I'll be doing it over the weekend(next).

If I put'em on before you I'll let ya know how it goes and if there are any little tricks.

What heads you go with is almost a toss up these days. Don't forget about TEA also. They are putting down some nice numbers for a good price.

I think MTI still does the best job on heads.But, I'll probably go with TEA due to my buget. But who knows, maybe I can save a little longer when the time comes.

When FLP first told us about these headers they said they saw 18rwhp on a stock 5.3 So, I hope for excellent gains since I will be FAR from stock at the end of the month. How much of a gain I don't know but, I do know it'll be a lot better than the JBA shorties I'm taking off. As for price, well, they're expensive-$1295.

As a matter of fact they do. Fedex got here kinda late this afternoon but, the eagle has landed.

Damn, I wish I could put these on this weekend. The instructions looks pretty good and so does the install.

They even come with two custom MSD plug wires for extra clearance on #5 and 7. Now I've gotta break down and get MSD wires for the rest of the cylinders though. :p

They could at least include a set of 8. Who would want to run mismatched color and performance wires? Oh well, they look really nice in that pic.
