Will headers help my TQ/HP any?
Hi. I have a 1977 chevy 305. it's got 7,000 mi. on rebuild. its pretty much stock. ive just added flat top pistons, a comp 262H cam, and better valve springs. engine is making 9.3:1 compression. i was wondering if a set of flowtech headers would give me any more TQ/HP and is it worth the money? also, anybody know how much HP/TQ this engine would be putting out? Thanks.

Yes, maybe 5-10 percent depending on what you have now.

Yeah, almost certainly, but it really depends what you have. Headers really are the only way to take advantage of big cam exhaust scavenging effects. If you arent planning on a big cam, it wouldn't be my first bolt-on.
