318 with Edelbrok perfomer intake and 600 cfm 4 barrel, what headers please?

The hobby is all about tinkering. Often things are purchased and installed that don't improve acceleration but are part of the hobby. Think engine dress up kits- yellow spark plug wires and those big Accell super coils back in the day. Yes, those parts were legit performance parts but most installed them for fun and they really experienced no gain in performance- it was fun to do even on a car that ran high 14s. If one does not have the spare $$ for headers then run the iron manifolds with a dual exhaust and don't look back. If one eventually wants headers in their SB A body one could buy some Summit or Flowtech brand headers and install on a day off- just know those low hanging tubes can be a real downer for some. I myself if in this scenario would save for a set of raw unpainted Dougs headers. But with headers -even TTI and Doug don't expect a huge seat of the pant's noticeable improvement in such a mild engine- the hobby is about tinkering and yes- that means money is spent on items that yield no significant improvement. My 1995 Dakota hot rod project will stay with manifolds because there are no long tube headers made for this platform anymore. Hooker used to make a set but they were almost $800 uncoated and now that they are discontinued the used and NOS prices are $$$$$$. No thanks. There is a run of TTI manufactured long tubes available but not for my generation of Dakota. Those are a work or art and if they were available for my gen truck, I would pony up the $$$ (over $1100) for a set only because of their high-quality heavy-duty construction. But its a moot point cuz they won't work for me. Manifolds it is for me.
