Thanks for suggestions guys!

Good to hear that Hedman is now making a good product for these cars. I looked at a set back in the early 90's, and the flange openings weren't even shaped liked the Pontiac ports! But I recently bought some Hedmans for an LS-swap project, and they are gorgeous headers!

I've got an offer on an old set of Hookers - never used. Those will be a serious consideration.

Larry, thanks for sending Steve H. my way, he's a very nice guy and I enjoyed working with him. He has the 2.5" RARE's on his '79 400/4spd. S/E. Even though he only has about 8.3CR, we were able to get 314rwhp out of it! With the low CR and RARE's, I wasn't expecting it to go higher than maybe 280.

I'll discuss the options/costs with the owner, thanks again.
