Have you done headers on a 496, or just hear say?. I have had good luck and many improvements. Weight savings alone is over 100lbs out of engine compartment on a single. I guess boats that need lead or ballast in front can benefit from the change.Midrange pull is much better along with on/off throttle response. ease of changing plugs. Top end might just be slightly better but you can get there faster.
