For our cars we are really limited in our selection if we want to run longtubes. I am in the process of building a heads and cam LS for my thidgen and needed some help when choosing a header size. I currently have picked up an MS4 cam, pushrods, Katech rod bolts, and am still looking around for a good price on a set of heads. They offer 2 sizes of headers for my car 1 3/4 and 2" (from Hawks third gen). My question is which would be best for my swap? The 2" are almost $400 more than the 1 3/4 headers and I was not sure if the 1 3/4 would be big enough. I will have nitrous on my car and will probably run about 125 shot on it. Car is a 6 speed with adjustable master cylinder and Textralia clutch and 3.73 gears right now, but will probably be switched to 4.10s later on. What do you think?

Only reason I'd go with 2" is if you are building a stroker, or something with a blower on it. 1 3/4" is plenty for what you are doing IMO, in fact there is a car in houston running 9's on BRP mids with nitrous on the car. The 2" will also be a MUCH tighter fit, and due to the variance in swaps and variance in motor mount designs, it could get ugly under the hood trying to fit them in.

I myself will likely run mids from BRP or the basic Hawk's headers, the price is a bit hard to swallow though, considering they cost half of what I paid for a running and driving TPI 350 car LOL!

Zone may pop in, he is running hawks headers on a 6.0 with an aggressive heads and cam, I believe he is running a Trex. That is a mean little swap car.
