I've heard higher. They advertise LT heads @23HP (w/H-pipe,cats&Axleback) I'd imagine they'd make around 15 w/ the same set up.

There was an article in MMFF with all the shorty headers out there. I personally have the JBA egual length shorties with the borla set up and they are awsome

Soooo, what did the article say? I'd say JBA is the best but do you still need the new motor mounts or did they fix that?

Hi Dave05GT,

They claimed they are all the same, just like the axle back report. MM&FF cannot offend ANYONE who might advertise so the don't.

Hey dave, what TB are you using? Does it make more power?


Cheers

Well thanks to you and your testing I'm convinced the JBA's are the best. I would have them already if the price would go down some and if the motor mounts weren't required.

About the TB, it's the motoblue. The throttle response is better and it feels like it pulls harder with it. On the downside, I get a slight surging with it due to the Predator tune I think. As far as dyno proven power, the only ones who seem to get anything are the manufacturers and thats on an otherwise stock vehicle. I think the money would have been better spent elsewhere and thats probably why the guy sold it to me for $325. I haven't had any of the other problems that seem to plague the billet TBs though like extreme surging, throwing codes, limp home mode, etc. It is nice and shiny though!
