Since this is open ended, it doesn't really help...

Do you mean more peak power, or more low end power? Different users might want different results.

from my understanding of both, PPE should have a little more power in the higher powerband than the F.I. but a little less in the lower end

but it wasn't proved yet .. hehe

Our headers make good midrange and top end power gains. Our larger runners offer more flow, and we use a hand made merge collector with a choke/transition that brings up the midrange without loosing top end power gains. (Our new 2000 degree black ceramic coating also helps increase exhaust velocity too add a little more performance too)

Obviously I am a bit biased, but we have had several Pro race teams choose our headers including CWV-Rallysport, DWW Motorsports, and SFR Enterprises.
