IMO:

Your stock R in good health will get you to 170 +/- 5 whp. For the $$ I think the RMF copy is not bad, if you have $500 and there is a skunk tri-y header around, buy it! You won't be sorry! My friend had an insane b20V, he used that header putting down great numbers.

That's kinda what I gathered from this. Good way to put it.

I think my question was misunderstood. I wanted to know what header out of my list would yield the most power considering those are all in my price range

on a side note: have you checked for that intake? I never recieved a PM back

Honestly, I had great results on a companies header called High End. Affordable, great ground clearance, great torque and horsepower numbers. I believe the Rage did a header test a while back and it competed well against big name, expensive headers. I bought mine for around 400 brand new and gained really good numbers.

I ended up buying a Tri- Y for a sponsor on here. It was originally $400 a few months ago, down to $300 and on sale for Black Friday- Cyber Monday for $195. I couldn't pass it up.

You paid 195$ when for 30$ more you could've had a much better header dude.

Tri-y are not that great IMO
