After much brooding over the question, i have decided that my next modification will be... (drumroll).... HEADERS! Before I ask let me give out some info on my plans for the stang's future. I plan on purchasing the 5.0 stroker kit (with balancing) from d.s.s. racing, along with a highly aggressive cam (still trying to determine the exact specs and maker, however will go with one that is good sc applications), and a kenne bell blower will be (for sure) the last thing to go on. Knowing this, here is my question. I am trying to decide A: exactly what type of header would best suit my plans? I have heard in the past that shorties are best for forced ind. applications, while LTs work best N/A. LT's would require a custom fab of my x pipe (which i love and do not plan on getting rid of, i want to keep what i have and not waste money on anything that wont help me) but it would be possible to do, and with the shorties or mid length i would really have the problem, i would be fine with a little smaller gains in that dept. B: What brand is reliable and makes good quality parts? I have been looking at hooker and heddman, I try and steer away from bbk (had bad experience) and dont know much about MAC, but i figured that hooker has been around long enough and many pros trust the quality. Thanks in advance for any opinions, and for any help anyone could give!
