Talk to Marty, the head guy! Tell him I told you to give him a call, probably won't know me as Hammer, just say "Red Hemi in Port St. John, the guy he recommended a custom shop to ceramic coat his headers to" he'll know right away. I've sent many there and he'll give you a better deal than on the website. They show list and try to get it from the guys who'll just click & add it to their shopping cart.
By far the most knowledgeable guy I know on performance for ALL Mopar engines.

Very personable guy and passionate about what they do. Hell, he's even walked me through installing things over the phone that I've not gotten from there...

I don't know how much he'll drop, but it's worth the call. Usually he'll come down to about anybody if it's apples to apples. But the couple of guys I sent there were semi local and had him do all the work, so he can bring the parts down to where he ain't making much and make his money on the labor.
They do awesome work there, I've seen a lot of stuff he's done and watched him put some on the dyno and I'm going to have him do my cam job using a custom ground cam for gobs of low end!

He also was a paid consultant to Superchips when they started out I believe and is authorized SCT, not just sales but custom tunes. I know a lot of shops that do high end mods use his tunes for the SCT to tame them.

But again, it'd definitely be worth a phone call.

I'd be interested in updates when you get to do yours. I had a '98 RCSB 5.9 4x4 Lifted and toyed around with doing a stroker and making it just an off-road monster, but in the end felt the finances were best served trading it on my new ride. So I'm very curious...
