NyC Zn6: jokes aside Ace's header price IS on higher side from all the headers out there .. BUT! - if you forget that it actually has that integrated overpipe in it's construction. If you add cost of overpipe to average costs of headers out there, it suddenly doesn't look THAT expensive anymore. Yes, there are headers still cheaper out there, but from top vendors & +overpipe costs are not cheaper enough relative to Ace's to not wish to get the best.

Yea if i was staying N/A i would definitely get the Ace header with integrated overpipe. Yeah i see what you are saying. Factoring in costs of headers and overpipes can be a little cheaper but so much win from these guys. Are they based in the US?

They're based in Taiwan.
If you want top end power AND to eliminate the torque dip while being on pump gas, this appears to be the only answer.
I'm also not a fan of the boxer UEL sound, and none of the other ELs on the market get rid of the torque dip.

My header and ECUtek gear should get here next week!

Can't get much better than that for N/A.

Man this plus the Edelbrock is pretty much what I had in mind. My bank account keep yellow NO! at me though. Eventually...

(this isn't a jab at the price, my bank account yells at me when I eat out too)

Man I hear that. With the Canadian dollar in the fucking toilet an Edelbrock kit would be almost $10,000 by the time I got it in my hands. I want it so bad, but there's no way on hell I'm paying that much. At that much money, I might as well do an LS swap.

I'm planning on doing a dyno run with my current setup (Tomei UEL + overpipe + OFT OTS stage 2) vs with the Ace header + custom Ecutek tune in a few weeks. I know a lot of people are running my current setup and are interested in the Ace. Will update after I get the results.
