Headers. You can get numerous different brand sets used with y-pipe for <$200. Or you can buy new Hooker headers and the y-pipe for a little over $200, without the unneccessary AIR injection. Do the work yourself.

 

If your willing to do without your ride for a few days take off they heads and have them machined. Get a 3 angle Valve job and get the heads shaved and ported etc... I think you can get a machine shop to do that for abound a couple hundred

 

Are you crazy?

That's a lot of work for very little gain. Not to mention the additional costs of fluids, gaskets, broken bolts, etc.

Headers will still add more power than that anyway...

 

be careful, if you port the heads you have the port the manifold and that will raise your powerband so you wont get any power in low rpms, i figured out the hard way
