What Headers are best for me?

First I apologize as I am sure this question has been discussed but in searching past posts I didn't see this specific discussion that related to my car. What headers would you recommend for my car for best fit, value and performance? See my signature for car specs. Thank you very much.

The best headers to buy would be SLP but they are expensive. I have the 1 5/8 on my '85 Trans Am and the 1 3/4 on my '82 Firebird and I love them. If the price is too high for you on the SLP headers I would go with Edelbrock.

SLP first, Hooker or Dynomax next, Edelbrock last. With a 350 engine, go with the 1 3/4" headers from SLP.

Thank you for the information. Is Jegs about the best price wise on the Hooker and Dynomax's? Is there more than one model or style in either of them for 3rd Gen's? Thanks.
