He is on the jug. 400whp is very feasible with the current headers..

If you're building anything SERIOUS I wouldn't go with the 1 5/8" headers. The OBX's are a high quality header that do everything fantastic but you're not going to get the most out of your setup running them. They're a good bolt on deal for a guy who's never going to do more than a cam/intake setup.

You should have no problems getting 12's with your set up.. Yes guys have been 11's with them..Don't jump the gun, get the truck how you want it run it. If it doesn't meet your need, then try the headers, rerun it and compare...

The 3 people saying they will be fine, have trucks that run 11's or capable of it. I dont wanna point fingers or sound rude here, but the two guys that seem to be pointing in the direction that the OBX are too small, never post drag times, seem slow for what they have, Neither are boosted or sprayed, nor have a fast N/A application.....just saying..Im slow too.
