I was thinking about getting a set for my truck but was wondering if they would make that much difference over 1 3/4. I'm running a h/c ls1. Cam will be around 226 duration. Heads will be a set of ported 5.3 heads. Thanks for any help.

Yes
Yes. Kooks makes an awesome set. I dknt know who else makes them, I'm buying a set next week and could probably get a better deal by purchasing two at once ;)
How much are the kooks, I know calspeed is coming out with a stainless set with ypipe pretty cheap in a couple monthsQuote:

900$. Expensive, but they are the nicest headers you will find for them. In my opinion
I was gonna get the tsp fbody 1 7/8s but they are sold out right now
They aren't a direct fit though, right?
Pretty sure that there are a few people running them though. It would be the same for the Kooks though...they currently dont make a "direct fit" for the trucks. But there are a small handful of people running them and say they fit better than the "truck specific" headers they had in the past.
Kooks deffinately makes a truck header that is a direct fit for a silverado.Quote:

Anything is better than these junk pacesetters.
Haha. That's what's on mine too :/Quote:

Anything but the Ebay headers that are on my truck. They dont seal at the collectors and glow RED hot when I go down the track.Quote:

Now I can't say for sure because I haven't ran a set but from what I've heard there's no modification needed on 2wds
Yes!
Holy cow! They glow red from one trip down the track? Which ebay headers did you get? I know they are supposed to be all the same but i've never heard of red glowing headers from one pass!Quote:

The same ones that are in Sierra SS garage. I dont know about from 1 pass but from normal operating temp to one pass yes. I religiously set for 20 minutes min between passes . I pulled off to jump someone just at the end of the track and my headers were glowing..... And they are Blued to ..... and I have only taken it to the track once. And I don't street race.Quote:
