First off. Hush your mouth. Headers are one of the best mods for a 3800 motor. There are many reasons why your friend beat you and your car was slow with headers. A) You are a fat ass, B) Your car was tuned by ZZP, C) He has a GenV. A GenV'ed car with a 3.5" and a tune vs. a GenIII car with headers and other misc. mods will most likely beat it everytime IMO. GenV is a very efficient blower and will walk all over a GenIII'ed car mod for mod. Another thing is the pulley size you were running. It was probably too small of a pulley for your car if you were getting 6*, and yet again...ZZP blows balls at tuning.
Second of all. If you have the money...keep it. A Short Stack Intercooler is a joke. Proven time and time again that you could also get rockers and headers and beat a SSIC'ed car for a cheaper price. A full size IC will blow the doors off of any SSIC'ed car. You can retain the stock fuel rails. Hell you can still retain stock EVERYTHING on a S2IC car.
Third. You must have no mechanic skills then. I'd buy Pacesetter's all over again for the price. If you can't get them to seal then that is your problem. Learn how to install them.
Fourth. What do you consider extreme? A car with rockers is too extreme for you? Headers are a awesome mod on ANY car. Hell I bet a Geo would run better with a header on it. Many GTP's run headers. Horsepower proven. But go ahead. Get a PLOG, 3" DP Combo and a Cam. I'll run you with my cammed car and headers and you should for sure win. Shut up and go home noob.
