Re: Rams horn exhaust manifolds

I'm having a 383 stroker built (for torque not for racing). I've done lots of reading on the subject of headers on these trucks and I also have experience with headers in other applications (and most of the time they have been annoying). I've seen dyno results comparing headers to each other and and to ram horns. And have been overloaded with it all. Back in April, I ordered a set of Doug Thorleys since they seem to be the best headers for these trucks from what I researched (ordered from DougThorley.com -- nice discount for board members). But for some reason they are having trouble getting them now and haven't shipped them yet (since April!!!!). I've debated canceling the order and using the stock ram horns. Anyone ever use the rams with a 383 stroker in a non-racing application (towing for example)? I don't want to shoot myself in the foot either way. If it were a stock 350, it's a no brainer (ram horns!). But what about a 383 built for torque?
