What is the best header for ....

[Hart_Rod]

a 383 with a vortech supercharger? I have long tubes now, but they look pretty crappy and I'm wanting to upgrade. I was thinking about these:

Thoughts?

those seem small. i would want 1 3/4 primaries and 3" collectors.

thorleys are nice headers no doubt about it try and find a set of the old doug thorleys 1.75 primaries and 3.5 collectors but I have only seen one pain good luck with that setup just run some super comps and wrap them

I dont know for sure but i believe those are Tri Y. I read somewhere that Tri Y headers are very particular on tuning and RPM power. More so then regular 4-1 longtubes. I would research it if i were you. Ill try to find the article.

Something from Hooker, 1 7/8 or so. This is a 600+hp set up right?

You are correct on the HP. Do you have any part numbers? I may add some juice to it after I get everything else figured out...... I would also like them to not come down so far so I can have some better ground clearance, but I'm betting I'm not going to be able to have my cake and eat it too.....

Depends, some say you can use Chevelle headers which don't hang so low.

I have been running camaro headers and they hang just below the frame I think most of the pass cars headers will work and they wont hang nearly as low as the truck headers do and the old thorleys good luck finding them

Any part numbers or other fitment issues with these? Thanks,

those are the headers in my truck come september it will be two years, they are great my motor made tons of power with them, however I dont know how they will work for you with the truck being on air...

I dont have a part# on them its been 10 years since I put them on but there is no fitment issues the collectors come out straight into the trany crossmember but any muffler shop can make them work
