Header Questions...
OK, I have 2 options. Hooker Comp., and Super Comp. Main differences:
Comp 28" primaries Super 31" primaries Comp NOT equal length Super equal length Is this worth the extra $200 for the Super Comps? Both are 1 5/8" primaries, 3" collectors, same flanges, etc etc etc. Engine is approaching 600 FWHP (Estimated 580), REALLY likes 7,500 RPM, and makes gobs of torque. Canfield heads, Mr. Nasty cam, Victor Jr. intake, had a 750 Holley, steppin up to a "850" Chuck Nuytten prepped Holley. Anyone have any input one way or the other? Performance mandates my decision, but I'm not opposed to saving myself $200 either.

Re: Header Questions...
Nope, not stepped (on this application anyways)
SUPER Comps: With Hooker Super the objective has always been to make the maximum horsepower and to put it at the optimum point in the power curve. It takes a lot of time and money to do the job right. We will sometimes spend up to 2 to 3 times more just to make the Super header work only 5 to 10% better. That commitment to excellence has made Hooker Headers the winningest header manufacturer in automotive drag racing history. Features Tuned-length primary tubes for maximum exhaust scavenging and velocity Mandrel-bent tubing for smooth exhaust flow Light weight & sturdy 18 gauge tubing Long transition collector for decreased back pressure 5/16” machined flanges for a perfect seal Industry’s best welds for durability Designed for optimal performance All necessary hardware included for a complete installation Shipping Dimensions L 45in x W 18in x H 10in Weight 29lb Regular Competition: (No pic available) Hooker Headers offer the best value in the high Performance header market. Designed for the value–conscious buyer who is running either a “stock” or “mildly–modified” engine, Hooker Headers offer premium features at a very competitive price. Made of durable 16 gauge mild steel tubing, the Hooker header design utilizes a long transition collector to reduce back pressure and increase exhaust flow. A perfect sealing surface is assured with the 5/16” machined flanges, with welded O–ring seals. Experience has proven that this flange size is ideal to maintain header integrity and be pliable enough to seal each exhaust port. Tubing is mandrel–bent to maintain metal strength and provide consistent tube diameter at radii to maximize performance. Hooker Headers have a standard finish that features a heat–cured, high–heat–resistant paint. Optionally, the famous Hooker Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coating is available. Features Tuned-length primary tubes for street performance Mandrel-bent tubing for smooth exhaust flow Light weight & sturdy 16 gauge tubing Long transition collector for decreased back pressure 5/16” machined flanges for a perfect seal Industry’s best welds for durability designed for easy, trouble-free fit All necessary hardware included for a complete installation Technical Information Instructions for Part# 6901HKR Shipping Dimensions L 39in x W 16in x H 9in Weight 30lb So, I don't see where the extra $200 is gonna be worth it. That, and looking at the picture of the Super Comps, the plug betwen #7 & #8 is gonna be a BITCH. I'm officially confused!

Re: Header Questions...
Take a look at Kook's custom headers. They'll blow away the Hookers, hands down. One of the best things about the Kook's is the offset pattern adapter plates the let the primary be full size at the head. No squashing of the pipe to fit the anemically small Ford in-line pattern. Check them out at www.kookscustomheaders.com
