need help on choosing headers....

well seeing as i plan to keep my car lowered i might as well get some feedback on my idea.

91 Z w/ T56 and soon a blown custom 383 taking in 20+PSI.

the lowest point of my car is the SPD T56 crossmember 3-4" and then my oil pan about 4" and from reading posts, the Hooker Lts will sit at the lowest point about 2" lower than my oil pan leaving me with about 2" ground clearance. this is my problem. can i get buy with that? the car is very stiff and rides very stiff as well but then there are always those dips on the highway that while cruising (100+MPH) can cause some damage if i have those LT's. i am not going with a tru dual set up. plan to keep my mufflex 4" catback that has yet to get here. i really need a good free flowing exhaust and here is where my question comes in.

has anyone bought these :SLP's 4-into-1 Power-Flo headers:? as seen on thunderracing.com with the 1 3/4 primaries.

will i be sacraficing a lot of power by going to these instead of the Hooker Lt's? i really need to make a decision soon so i can order and i really do not intend on putting the stock springs back in.

I have been researching for a set of headers for my 92 Z28 also. Considering your ride height, you would probably be better off with some shorties. I have been debating over full tubes or shorties, and after reading everyones problems in trying to install them, I think I may go with Hooker's #2055. This is my opinion, so good luck with your project.
