I want decent headers that wont bankrupt me any advice would be apreciated

 

Pacesetter. Apparently the summit ones are pacesetters just cheaper. Or go to stage3motorsports and look there. Get long tubes though IMO.

 

Headers must really be a PITA to install on these trucks. Being raised in the modding (GM) world, headers were always one of the very first things you did to a vehicle. You could pick up a set for $100, run them with true duals, retune and pick up 20+rwhp.
I don't really see headers in many members sig's here, and they are not mentioned very much

 

They are a pain. You have to move a lot of parts lose/pull a motor mount and lift the motor. There just isn't any room in these bays.

 

It's funny how little room there is in the engine bay, considering how tiny the V8s are in these trucks.

My '68 Oldsmobile was narrower, with a wide 355, and there was more than enough room to practically stand IN the engine bay while working on it.

 

The motor just uses a really long stroke needing a longer block. But ya I don't see how the 329 takes up so much space.

 

I wouldn't give stage 3 any money if you can help it....

Pacesetters from Amazon was the cheapest when I bought mine. You will want to get o2 sensor extenders. Do get a tuner to turn off the rear o2 if not adding cats.

They are a real treat to install.

 

Off topic but real quick why don't you like stage three? I've had nothing but good luck with them with my old mustang.

And they were awesome when I called to talk about a future whipple purchase for my truck.

 

When I bought my goods....
I had to pester them to get them to ship bits of my order
I got 2 custom tunes from them that was never done correctly, so they are junk.

They are helpful until they got your money. After the sale...meh. I spent almost 4k with them.

I was very happy with the crew at Jdm engineering, and have nothing but love for them.

 

Ok. Are they the company that did the tunes? In reference to stage 3 crap tunes. What bits. You did a roushe kit right?
