I like my pacesetters, but I dont see how there could be that much of a difference between the two on hp.

Ive seen a back to back comparison article on an SBC between headers with a high velocity merge collector and those without being a 12 HP difference on an engine dyno. But neither pacesetters or LPP have it so it's not relevant. There shouldnt be much of any difference btw the two in power.

the overall design of both headers is almost exactly the same, except pc has the egr port on the passenger side header and the LPP are stainless...other than that i dont see how the hell there would be a 20hp difference between the two. id say go with whichever one you want...i just ordered a set of the LPP headers, had pacesetters on my last truck with no problems..just wanted to try something new.

They are basically the same headers.. So that is not a true statement

He's full of shat and Tuning makes a big difference in HP when you have a cam.
