    Interested to see dyno results. 454 HO has 8.75:1 compression for pump gas friendly and a smaller hydraulic cam. 1970 LS6 had 11.25:1 compression back when they had leaded gas with a larger solid lift cam. The 454 HO might be a little more accurate to GM performance 438 rating.

    I've always told people throughout the past 15 years, that if a company makes a 304-308 stainless steel header and a exhaust system (Even a 409 stainless steel) to save up the extra cast and buy it. Then send it out to get ceramic coated and it will last 20-30 years or more depending on a variety of situations like, if you clean them, live in a desert climate, don't drive in salty roads, etc. Every friend I have that purchased mild steel headers have had to swap them out for another set. Sometimes even more. Once my 4th set of mild steel headers (On 2 cars) rotted away, I finally forked the cash to buy a set stainless works headers for my 97 Z28 and a set of Clear Imaging headers for my 95 Impala SS and a set of American Racing headers for my 89 Mustang GT. All ceramic coated do to the fact I live right next to the Ocean and Bay. So the air here is always saturated with salt. Sometimes you can even taste it on your lips.
