Default Headers?

So im looking to get set of headers for my 88LX 5.0, im looking at these right now.
BBK Equal Length Headers(standard 14-gauge mandrel-bent tubing with 3/8" flanged ends, precision die-stamped and laser-cut flanges, and screw-in studs)
Is this a good choice? I plan to supercharge the car and all. Im looking for a good airflow at a good price and these arent looking too bad. Thanks for any help.

Not really, I did my headers in under an hour, Mac equal length chromers, shoulda gone ceramic :\ or full length. Got a kick *** deal on them anyway, 75 bucks, couldn't go wrong.
