Heheheheh...anemic. Yeah....riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. ;)
If you're going to be running a Supercharger, definitely go with the 52mm
Fastman or (50 or 52mm Flometrics).
As for the headers, they're all within 1-2% of each other on HP/TQ gains...the
main thing is cost. Your choice on that...i've seen Gibson headers on a '98
Sport (5.2L) and they looked (and worked) very well.
