I have an 88 L98 GTA, and I wanna put some headers on it, I want the Flowtech's because they are inexpensive, but would they work pretty well, because when I am done with my car I wanna run about 310-330HP.....what do you all think...and what are some prices...THANKS....AARON

I know low price is tempting, but you'd be $'s ahead by planning for the future.
The Flowtechs have 1-1/2" primaries - fine for a mild 305 or torquey 350, terrible for 310-330 HP. Edelbrock TES, Hooker, & Hedman make headers & y-pipe w/1-5/8" primaries, which will support your future HP plans. The three above range from ~$310-$350, plus shipping, and if you get the Hookers (I don't know about the other two), I'd plan on some FelPro gaskets to the heads (the Hooker-supplied gaskets were cheap cardboard - one of the two nits I had with them).
