Pacesetter Mid Tube Headers???
I'm looking at a set of mid tube headers for my girlfreinds '87 Camaro, it has a 2.8L V6 and 700R4 transmission. They're the Pacesetter mid tube headers offered by JC Whitney (ZX311104) they have 1-1/2" tubing and 2-1/4" collectors. are they worth the money? I'm not looking for a major performance boost for this car, but will it give it a little more kick? The Camaro has stock pipes and cat with a Flowmaster 50 series single in single out muffler
--also--
What would these same headers do on a '86 Trans AM with a 3.4l/T-5 W/C swapped in it? The engine currently has a .427/.454 lift roller cam, 305TPI injectors, Pro-Form roller rockers, Cold Air intake, Accel coil, module and wires, AC Delco plugs, .040 flat top pistons and .020 over valves. I have a two disc clutch and pro-billet shifter and 3.73 posi rear, the exhaust is the stock mani's into 2-1/4" stainless piping through a Random Technologies cat and a single in dual out Flowmaster 50 series muffler with 3-1/2" tips

It would be a good upgrade over the stock anchors.
I know on the Fiero 2.8 the exhaust manifolds were a huge restriction but not as big as the intake but you could free up 20+ hp from headers and a y pipe.

But, then, there is the whole issue of the Accel ignition... Should've gone with an MSD system if you were going to put that much money in it.
