i went with the JBA ceramics because i didnt want the headers to change colors from the heat. i know they keep the temps down under the hood but i have not measured it lol havign the cermanic coating will imporve the life of the headers too. IMO get the JBA's they flow great and sound mean. get a catted X pipe too you'll notice a nice power increase and ALOT better fuel mileage! well you have a s/c so i dont know how much better lol

You should see a reduction in temps, especially being you're running the supercharger now.

I have the JBA silver ceramic cat4ward headers as well. Latemodelrestoration.com is where I got mine from. They were not an easy install, but the fitment was perfect. I can't believe some other header companies expect you to bend and cut stuff in order for it to fit.

I went with chrome BBK's. I don't care if they change color, and I can't believe that a ceramic coating will reduce the underhood temp enough to make a difference. I'm very pleased with my headers. They completely change the exhaust note. Sounds like a real muscle car now.

I got the JBAs and happy with them, they are tight to get in but fit fine, get a power increase and better sound can't complain.
