Well... how soon are you planning to upgrade heads? Because like TMOSS said in the other thread, Shorties with 1 1/2" "primaries" will be better for a stock engine and 1 5/8" will be better for a car with aftermarket heads or a poweradder. The 1 1/2" headers will help you keep the low end you desire.
 
bbk doesnt make 1 1/2 dude..i just looked....know anyone taht does and that are a good header with a good fit??
how much better are thse over stock? just wondering..like are they bigger? designted diff?
 
you might have to roll the engine each side. if you want tourque go for the long tube's like what i have they OWN shortie's but either way you have to raise the block. all my stuff cost me about 1k you prob dont want to drop that kinda money but jba makes awesome shorties and a one peice flange is awesome as well. dont use the header gaskets from bbk (if u get em) that paper crap isnt worth anything blew em racing a monte carlo "ss" put in fel-pro never a problem since :)

GOOD LUCK!!!
