headers are best if they are equal length. thoes look like they suck ass. the #7 cylender only has about 7" to the colector, while the #1 cylender has like 2 feet.

If the KB headers aren't too much they would be worth it over the stock manifolds. If I got the KB kit, I think I would go with them just to get more flow out the exhuast. Now if I could just win the lottery...

Message:
the JBA headers for the 5.2/5.9 are shorty headers, but they made the #7&8 tubes longer by wraping them up for more of a equal length. what differance would it make if it was supercharged or not?
if equal length headers are better for a NA engine, they would be twice as good on a SC'd engine

Over $4000 for 65hp at the wheels that must be a joke.

I like my KB, there could probably been a few design changes, but over all i like it. Worth the price? well, now that the Novi is out, i kinda wish i would have waited. The install was a major pain the @ss, and from the looks the Novi would probably be easier. I do like it, its not like i could take it off and get the Novi, i dont have any money left, and no body would pay me enough for the KB i bet. :( What im gonna do is get that new 5.7 when it comes out, so after that comes out, i'll be lookin to sell a supercharged 4.7. :) And kota, yeah, i do have alot of complaints, but im glad i got it, now to pay off that $4000 bill......

Yeah, to put it lightly! :) Feels like my engine is about twice as big. :) Next step, A nice big kit from Nitrous Express for some good boost at high rpm. Ah, if only i could win the lotto, or someone would donate to the "make Glen's truck faster" fund.

I wanted to see if everyone is satisfied before I go and buy one. Also would it help to change the Throtle Bodie?
