please tell me those don't have the 2.5" collector. While they're an improvement over stock and shorties, you reeeaaaaalllly need a 3" collector.

headers were an ebay special. My shorty headers developed a crack. I can not complain they have been in service since 04.
Forgot to post a new Nick Williams TB. This really woke up the intake and pedal response. I am happy. Purchased used from a member on here. Pics show how much bigger it is.

Converter is on hold till this tranny blows(on borrowed time). Then it's some mail order vendor tranny shop and a circle d 3k stall. This yank 2600 is super tight even with high miles.

Currently on the hunt for a used procharger.

Your cam is really small and the stall is super small. These things are heavy and need to have a little bit bigger stall to get them moving. Get some good tuning done.

and I'm sure it would have picked up with a bigger collector letting it breathe better. Just cause you make power on it doesn't mean its optimal

I'm well aware of how power is made
In the OPs quest for power those headers are fine

Another truck in my camp made 990rwtq on a 5.4 with same size collectors

Remember his parts list, not every combo is a race setup

longtubes,4.10gears. i would block off intake from hot air. stall should work good with that cam. also think weight reduction. the 17s on my truck only weigh 21lbs. each.
