there summit brand i dont know if there good or not never heard or seen them so im guessing not, they are very cheap though wich is a sign of poor performance....
if the above headers are not really that good what are some good ones maybe hedman or hookers?

You sure about that horsepower figure? I've seen your vid online, and your car doesn't look like it has 500hp. Then again I was listening to you singing in the car :p

im pretty sure after the 70's, pontiac motors were choked by the smog regulations.. (Catalytic convertors & such) which is why the engines were discontinued.. (that and the whole carb vs tpi deal)

stock is claimed to be 185 wich is underrated due to polution/insurance shit back then.. id say around 230ish stock.. 250 with my headers and full dual system, and one of those K&N extreme flow air filters lettin it breathe a hell of a lot better through the shaker.. i am really unsure of an exact number but it does sound good either way
