I'd like to talk about headers for the Z06.
Adding a set of headers is not a cheap mod to make. With an average cost of around $900, plus install $3-600, one could easily spend $1500.
For 2001 Chevy switched to a cast manifold which they claim flows better than the stainless headers of the 97-00. Bearing this in mind, is there much to be gained bolting on a set of aftermarket headers?
Obviously switching to long tubes will eliminate the pre-cats, and consequently will show a decent gain. But in doing this, you can face SMOG issues in the future.
If you have headers on your Z06, please post here and indicate the total cost (price + install), power increase on dyno (if available), and your personal impressions of them, and if you feel it was worth it.
One last thing. I'd like to discuss the worth of headers on a stock motor, Vs a heads/cam car, Vs a car running nitrous.
Thanks, and sorry for the long post!
