AFR 165 competition package. Lots of headers out there. I wouldnt go over 1-5/8" primaries. Headman elite long tubes are nice and cheap compared to most.

Other than the cam it sounds close to my combo. I'm running a Lunati cam .488 lift + 1.7 rockers=.518 lift, Twisted Wedge heads, Flowtech headers (1 5/8" primaries, best fit I've found so far, and cheap), 2400 stall, 3.55 gears and a Demon 650. Really nice power, sounds mean, and fun to drive.

I was running your cam with Windsor Jr. heads for a while in the same engine, but the current combo runs smoother and faster.

I have these headers and they are the best fitting I've seen. Each set is made to order, so it will fit right with your combo. P/S, clutch cable, etc.

I just put in Doug Thorley tri-y's on my 65 Mustang AT. What a great fit.

I tried two different brands of try-y's and could not get them to fit on the passenger side. They hit the shock tower.
