I was curious as well. I plan on ditching my AS&Ms in favor of some type of shorty style header for emmisions reasons and legality in Ca. I hope I'm not going to take a huge hit in performance.

If you do take them off would you give me first shot at them?

yep, same with me as BC. I had the radix and a 3.0 pulley(5.3L) for a very short time and then I slapped on the dynatechs. I lost about a 1# of boost. I personally felt slower in my launches and low end WOT, nothing to prove this, but top end pull, ESPECIALLY 60 to 100 was waaaay better. No tuning in that change.

Well I had the radix and a 3.0 pulley(5.3L) on before I had the headers, No dyno but did run it at the strip before and after, I put the hole kit on supermaxx headers, Hi-flow cats and 50 flowmasters with large pipes, I lost close to two pounds of boost, No problem still running 9, The headers sure didn't do what I thought they would and if I could go back the headers where not ceramic coated, Man I wish I would have had that done
