Headers

I believe the gains are more like 15 hp (troyer's site).
I have JBA headers installed and I think I got more of a gain from each of my other mods (except the catback), but that may be from the order of install...
mods in order of install = Magnaflow catback, headers, superchip, air force 1 intake, ported/polished throttle body & elbow....superchip & intake were installed the same day as the headers with a testdrive between each install.
If you go for headers, reuse the stock gaskets & invest in stage8 locking header bolts.
edit: Oh yeah - mine's an 01 screw with the 5.4l

I was thinkin the same thing about the high flow cats. Anyone have any experience? Also, I saw on the Troyer site where if you go with the magnaflow high flow cats that you replace the four from the factory with only two magnaflows. I thought I read a post the other day where someone said this messed up their O2 sensor reading, causing the engine light to come on. Anyone's comments appreciated.

i've read that replacing the cats/pre cats with high flow cats will give greater gains...buts that what i've read.

Yes, you read correctly; they are the same exact part #. Lightnings with shorty headers also go "ZERO" quicker at the track.
