yes they keep the under hood temps down and
will retain more heat in the head cast iron
heads will produce better power runing hoter
on the exh side
Before you do the exhaust the intake side must
be improved or you will exp a low end torque
loss
spend your money wisly
cold air
bigger throttle body
1.7 rockers
now think about exhaust improvements

Does the computer need time to learn new mods,
Meaning should you install 1 mod at a time and give the comp time to learn the mod before installing anouther mod.
Ie. FB TB and headers?
