I was looking at some Ford Racing and JBA headers. There's about a $200 difference between the two, the Ford ones being cheaper.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with either one. Which one performs better?

Thanks

Keep the stock ones unless you plan to go LT.

There is not enough gains with a shorty to justify the price/labor

Go with long tubes, and if you have the extra funds, buy a tubular k-member. Best investment you can buy. Definitely won't regret it especially if you go with long tubes.
