With a stock engine very little. They are out of breath with the kegger at 4500 and have a tiny cam that doesn't help either.
If you have cam, replace the kegger with a/m intake, etc then it might be worth the switch. If you can find some v8 magnum 92 or 93 year model exhaust manifolds they flow slightly better than the rest. I would not let searching for them hold up a project though as it is minimal difference.
The ones on the truck dump in the center, what about them?

Sanderson headers have always been on the expensive side of the price range. I haven't heard anything lately, but a few years back they ran into a bunch of issues with the center tubes cracking near the flange. That may be corrected by now. That's all great to know. One would like to think they wouldn't crack considering what you pay for them price wise but, I see they would fit the factory exhaust size however for these trucks where the Summit and Hedman are 2.5" which is fine. The only problem will be find the factory style exhaust tips to fit a 2.5" exhaust. Not sure if the tips sold from Dodge Connection are made in the USA but, the others ones I see are generally made in China. Just depends on which way a person wants to go.

can I convert the 92 overdrive trans to a non lockup converter? I want to use one of my regular loose ones. Why do you want to do that? Just keep it from going into lock up.
