    I wanted to check with some other sources on a post I received
    that said the performance differences between the current Aluminum
    intakes on the market and my original iron intake were very close
    on a warmed over 455 stage 1 motor. If this is the case I would like
    to spend that money on headers and upgrade to the aluminum piece
    at a later date if needed. With that said are there any other header options
    for the 455 that are better priced than the TA and Poston stuff with
    the same performance.
    Thank You...

    I'm guessing I read that right

    Looked like the stock did 495 horse versus
    the SP-1 w/ a spacer @ 525 horse

    270 odd dollars for 30 more horsepower.

    Pretty good bang for the buck. I'll look
    that direction @ a later date when I save my coins.
    Might have to run the stock one @ first for a while
    I need to cut back on the stuff I can bolt on later
    without taking out the motor. :TU:
