That is about average price for Hookers. They are expensive.

If I were going to upgrade to a turbo, I would not even consider a Super Six. It won't be enough carb/manifold for a turbo anyway. :shock:

I just found these. Do any of you guys know if they would work good? better then clifford or dutra duals? im just wondering here, not like ill buy them though.
If you're going with a turbo, I wouldn't use headers at all (except the Jaggers Fabrication turbo header). Normal headers often have an outlet that's in a very inconvenient location for turbo plumbing, and may not be able to take the extra heat either. Use either Dutra or stock manifolds.

I love the /6 and own one. If you want a "hot" or turbo /6 it will be expensive. Myself, I would swap in a 318 2bbl. with headers and gears. Your mileage would not be much less and there are a gajillion 318's in the junkyards all over this country. Just my $.02

What carb and manifold are you running with the nitrous?
