I know you said the headers are not an option right now, put them on your list soon, i'm running the cheapo summit 105.95 headers, i will say thay are NOT cheap by any means, the construction is very good along with the fitment, much better then some headman/hookers i've had.
Its not a question of money but of looks (I actually have a new set of Dougs ceramic coated sitting on the shelf)
I want the car to look stock under the hood, so manifolds are a must. The car was suppose to come out with 340/360 manifolds but I was in a hurry to get some racing in before the end of the season and didn't want to tie up the car any longer.
The valve covers and small exhaust manifolds will be changed over this winter.
Frankly if the car dips into the 12's it will have exceeded what I wanted to do.
