Don't neglect the torque gains though. I mean, if you think about it, what Tony and his team have accomplished is quite remarkable. Compared to a setup with stock manifolds and HFCs, they're reducing backpressure. Usually, when you reduce backpressure, you lose some low-end torque as a tradeoff for gains higher up the rpm range. If you're lucky, you don't lose much or maybe even none at all. These guys managed to GAIN low-end torque! For me, it's a no-brainer to toss the Stillen headers I already have and switch over to these, because I lost torque with the Stillens. That, and they don't even line things up with their own CBE right. Stillen headers = FAIL as far as I'm concerned.
