Default torque loss between 1 3/4 & 1 7/8

I know there is a dyno comparision on here somewhere but I am about to order American Racing headers tomorrow and am leaning towards 1 3/4 primaries cause I want to keep as much torque for pulling in the 2000-2500 range. 228 or 230 dur cam is next. Does anyone know where that thread was on the dyno graphs between 1 3/4 and 1 7/8 LTs was & did it record numbers that low. Or is there any other input about this? SBC experience would tell me to stick with the smaller but LS motors seem to like a little more. 2800lb car & 3.7 rear, stock 241's Opinions please, TS guys?

It's a myth. With no tune, you may lose some. As long as you tune for it, you're good.

Default ok ARH 1 7/8 ordered!

OK, I placed my order for 1 7/8. All my 1st gen SBC experience tells me no but they don't breath like these. Now if I could only decide between the TSP228 and Torquer V2 cams. Leaning towards the T2.

Yeah w/ a 2800 lb car w/ 3.7 gear you should have plenty of torque.
