4) recomendations?

1) Can't comment on the TTI but don't consider the Dougs to be a very difficult install. The torsion bars, steering column, & center link should be removed. I had my engine & K-member out when I did mine & it was super easy.
2) Don't know best price, I called Doug's & they gave me a recommended vendor, can't remember who (wasn't Summit), saved a couple hundred $.
3) You can use studs on the ends (I did), of course use thread sealent.
4) The Doug's fit nice with the limited space available. Overall very nice headers & no body butchering required. In a couple of places they are close to stuff so you may want to add some header wrap in those areas. Standard mini & stock starters will fit. Supposedly a special starter is required with the TTIs.
5) They are definitely an upgrade from the Spitfires but the TTI's may flow a little bit more. Howard is a thief. He stole my $ 5 years ago, received nothing but excuses.
