Thats a step in the right direction, to bad I hate the newer silverados.

how difficult is it to install those headers? And how much performance gains are we looking at?

the headers were a MOTHER****ER to do but aside from that i dont think they would work for you on account of your 4x4 drivetrain. the power gains were great the butt dyno was really impressive.

keep dreamin man. fact of the matter is that we all have trucks. now, i'm not saying that a truck cant be fast (lightning, cyclone, built R/T) but it takes a considerable amount of money and it will always be heavy. the same motor that it would take to make my truck run 13.5 would make and average size car go 13.0 or faster. just a sad fact.
