I hope so, I havent regeared yet. Still have 3.73, as soon as i pay the SC off i want to build the axle right. Cant see spending the money to regear a D30 then upgade to PR44. Really wondering what it will feel like with stock gears.

I also currently still have stock axles w/ 3.73s - the headers made a noticeable difference in torque across the entire rpm range, I imagine the blower will be night and day.

It will be. I have both and you can't compare the two. You will loove it. I am running 4.10s still. I have the 5.13s sitting at the house just trying to find a safe place around my area for the install. I drive with overdrive off and it is just about right. RPMs a little high at 70mph so you guys should be good with overdrive off and 3.73s

Pretty good. Lots of patience involved. Once installed I really should have bought the hush power resonator. It is loud and the rasp is terrible at 3000-4000 rpms

By far the Nicest sounding upgrade
Performance is pretty nice. Just got an updated tune for the sc and headers and it seems very nice. Does not take away the need for gearing but great power.

The combination between the torque the headers bring is amazing. Im still stock geared (3.73) and it is really quick off the line now. Im still trying to get used to it. So yes, for me the headers are worth every penny.
Not to mention the tech guys at Ripp walking me through the whole installation. They were great. This is what customer service should be like.
Thanks Chris and tech team.
