Is it really worth it??

I have the Edelbrock TES Header system on the car right now.I was wondering it would be really worth it to switch over to longtubes???

Another question is how do pacesetters compare to Hokker lt's?

Thanks,Sean

Pacesetters very close quality to Hookers. Good over all design. No need to cut the K member to put these long tubes in. Better ground clearance then most LT's ... Theyre definatly the best bang for the buck LT on the market rite now. 360$ coated ...

It's deff. worth it over the Edelbreaks They don't flow much better than manifolds. With the LTs you'll feel a much better performance gain.

Get your car dynoed and see how much rwhp/rwtq you are making. Compare it to similar setups with LT's.

I saw some chrome LT headers for sale the other day at a flea market for a 93-95 F-body LT1. They wanted $200 and the guy said that he was selling them for a friend who had them on for 4000 miles then wrecked his 94 Z28. They looked to be in good shape. Anyone know what kind they might be since they are chrome?

I think some MACs are nickel plated chrome...but I'm not exactly sure.
