Re: best header for a stroker
I have a brand new Banks Revolver never installed for sale.  It didn't fit with my supercharger. If you are interested.

Re: best header for a stroker
Why didn't it fit?
I was running a borla for 2 years was very happy with it. Recently modified it with longer secondaries and a 3" collector.

Re: best header for a stroker
It didn't fit with my Sprintex supercharger.  It is a very nice piece.  Wish it would have fit.
This is the pic of my Gibson header. The Banks hit the area of the #6 pipe. The banks it is straighter on the diagonal.

APN = ebay cheapie (available other places as well), as he said. Decent header. People seem to like them and the price is right.CobraMarty wrote:'Ceramic coated'== I doubt that is the cheepie one on ebay.

Re: best header for a stroker
Ceramic coating costs about $100 with shipping and coating when I looked into it.  Well worth it for the heat protection.  IDK if it will make them last any longer.  I bought the ceramic coated Gibson header and my under hood temps did go down and engine temp went down about 5 degrees.

Re: best header for a stroker
Thanks SilverXJ. That's what I wanted to know. Living in Arizona, corrosion resistance is not a big issue for me.
