What do you guys think. I am about ready to start up my new motor for the first time. I plan to do the proper break in of 2000 rpm for about 20 minutes, but should I run open headers or bolt the mufflers on?

Bolt the headers on and add a can of EOS from your local Chevy dealer. Living in Cali it would not be a good idea to have open muffler. them pollution laws are very strict. graemlins/thumbsup.gif
