they make headers for small block that are true water jackets big tube headers and are alot less expensive than the rest.

The ability to slightly move the elbow is kinda neat it seems like the older units had a single clamp and the picture here it looks like its a double clamp setup now.

I ultimately moved to the powerflows because lightning just wasn't delivering the small block product- my other lightning product experiences have been very good.

Any kind of tube setup is going to give better top end performance than a manifold but realistically it may not be worth the bucks if its your only modification- you are back to $ again.

Question- Baja 280- what have you done to your small block ? The expense of tube headers may not buy you anything over a manifold if this is your only mod or your mod is a low end midrange build

Does your boat have external steering? (doubting it)
Bad news- thats a big delta.
Good news we can get you there.

Exhaust is the first thing you've gotta do- but take a look at what it bought Spillman- 1-2.

What's your budget?
