Most LT header systems take 2-4 hrs to install and most shops charge $70 per hour. SO around $300. The problem is that the Kooks are designed so that they have equal primary tubs thus making the install more involved. You have to remove the starter and jack each side of the motor up to get them to slide in. It takes 5-6 hrs to install these. If I wasn't getting the ring job I'd do them next weekend with a buddy of mine. I'm in the process of making the re-ring appt and after I get that done and let the rings seat I'm going straight to the dyno.
Brock FYI Kooks makes great mustang headers too. Make sure which ever ones you get that they're stainless steel

P.S. I thought a LS1 and a little bit more horsepower than a laundry basket though!!

I'm doing a management development program for GEICO. I'm in auto-damage and working as an adjuster for now. I write estimates and work with customers all day in the Damneck office over by Corporate Landing.
I've been spending a good deal of money on the car, but I'm about done. I want new shocks, allignment, harness bar, 5-pt harnesses, a new shift knob, and a dyno tune to cap it all off. Then I'll blow my money on tires and entry fees for HPDE (high-performance driving schools). I need to focus on buyin a house now so I can stop pissing away money on rent.
Hey if you want to make tons of cash PM quickySRT. He's 22 and has a new SRT-4 Neon AND a new SRT-10 Viper... I won't tell you what he does =) but he makes bank.
