Ok, I just ordered my JBA headers from truckperformance.com. They were 310.00 with free shipping. I called JBA and they said they sell for 459.00 dollars. They said thruckperformance is having a promotion and it wont last long. So I guess I jumped on it while they were so cheap. They should be here by the end of this week. I will put them on my truck Sunday or Monday. I will post the seat of my pants results. JBA said it will give me 15-20 hp depending on what other mods I have. Look at my sig to see what I got. I hope they work. If I get 15 hp I will be happy. And only 310.00 including shipping. That was just to good to pass up. Maybe to good to be true. I can only wait now.

Thanks Mike. I have been looking at my exaust manifold. It doesnt look like it will be that hard. JBA said it is 3-6 hour install, but you know how that goes. Oh well. I got some new tools for Christmas to add to my ever growing collection. I've been waiting to try them out. You know thats hard beacuse Fords never break down...lol.

 

Are you going to coat them? Tell us how they sound

 

Andrew, I am not going to coat them. This is my reason behind it. I have had nickel plated before. Living here in Tucson, Az its hard to get anything to rust. I have not seen snow in the valley for 5 years. And it hardly ever rains.The only salt here is in the shakers. I have a friend that has Uncoated JBA headers on his mustang. He's had them for 3 years. They have turned a different shade but still no rust. If you live somewhere that you are prone to rust I would get the coating. Well I'm off to the Diamond Backs Game. They are playing the Breweres today. I love Spring ball. We have 3 teams in Tucson that do there training here.

 

What jba told you is interesting (about the hp). I spoke with joe stone at jba racing and he was tellin my that the headers will add 10-15 hp and 9-12ftLbs of torue on a stock motor. At any rate keep us posted on your impressions.

 

what do you mean "limited promotion"?????

dammit, that means i got to order right away

 

Lighting, I know, There always seems to be someone telling us different things. I guess it depends on who you talk with. You can call the same company and be told two different things by two different people. Oh well, I guess I will just have to see what happens when I get them. I spoke with JBA again today. They told me that the have headers on a prototype 4.2 he also told me that they haven't even got it on a dyno yet. He went on to tell me that they will be ready to ship next week. This is a different story then I got the first time. Well, when I do finaly get them I will post the results.
