What kind of gains from Mac headers?

What kind of gains can be expected from Mac headers on a basically stock car? HP and track times.

Thanks...

I would say 20rwhp. Most people claim with headers they get 2-3 tenths off their quarter.

I do, but I just put them on so I don't have any 'scientific' proof of what gains they've done for me. However, I do feel a large difference, and I went with MAC Headers because of all the positive feedback on this board about them!

Are they're any 1 3/4" primary MAC's running around? I heard they stopped making those and now only do 1 5/8" primaries except for the LS1's.

Any truth to that? I'm looking into getting a set of these.
