If you don't want a street monster, why go with headers? For that matter, with a stock crate motor an aluminum intake might not gain you enough to make it worthwhile.

My thought on headers was to let the engine breath a little easier and possibly squeeze out a little more mpg's? Not expecting 30 mpg by any stretch of imagination, but would not like to have to tow a gasoline station behind the truck to keep tank full. Lol
