I mean hey, if I had some really nice headers and was upgrading from iron d-ports to aluminum heads, I don't see spending the extra cost for new headers if you are talking about a 550 hp build, something you can drink and drive daily.

But if you don't have headers already and new round port heads cost about the same as new d port heads ....

Sometimes I say things and just wish you guys would give me the reaction I am looking for ...

I would always go with round ports, and buy headers. D-ports and manifolds are going to be limited. A set of round port heads and a nice Hydraulic cam will make 500 hp, like falling out of a tree. 500 hp in street car is killer. And crazy street able. Thats just me. Are there good D-port combo out there sure, but you can bet they’ve ported. But E-head out of the box will make 500 hp and you don’t need a hydraulic roller cam.
