Racing Beat has said over and over again for the past few years exactly how much power every header design they have ever tried has made. 4-5 peak. That's it. That's what it does.

I am more concerned with gains across the curve and torque than peak HP.

I picked up the new Super Street yesterday, and these were mentioned as "just released' by racing beat. No word on RBs website though.

I'm kind of curious as to see what kind of power curve an 8 puts down with a CAI, RB header, hi-flo/midpipe, catback and a good tune. I'm also curious about the sound.

With the exception of the Cobb AP all NA gains have been around $100/hp.

The racing beat headers are now on the market according to the guys at SevenStock. They said that you can order them by phone, they are not on the website yet because of availability. (You didn't hear that from me)

Oh, as for the gains, the guy with gray hair and the red hat told me that it produces 5 whp and 1 wtq. He said he doesn't remember the price off his head but it's going to be in the neighborhood of $350
