well, I hope I don’t later regret going Crawford... On one hand good luck with the project - but on the other hand it will be easier for me to be glad I went Crawford if yours don’t quite work out... I'm sure you'll post progress...

I'm looking at cams & headers and was considering waiting for his long tube project in the hopes of gaining some bottom end... for now Crawford are about as close as I can get...

I never seen or heard crawford gives you more gain than others.
Yes, crawford is high quality and expensive.
DC and strup is also good choice.

Crawfords are "Medium length" headers. They accomplish this with their "Spaghetti" tube design. I have DC Sport headers (Nismo knockoff), but wish I had gone with Crawfords instead.

Here's what they look like off the motor. They don't look very 'clean' to me (especially the two rear cylinder tubes with all the right angle bends) and I don't think I like the placement of the upstream 02 bungs since they only measure cylinders 2 & 5, instead of all the cylinders collectively; but hey- if they work, they work. I just wouldn't put 'em on my car. :-)
