Default Turbo headers or truck manifolds for

I'm build a 6.0 with a 3.90 crank and hi ram Holley and will be running a voodoo 294 cam good for 7400 rpms I've been talking to a turbo shop and they said I can run a Borg Warner S400-80 and it won't choke out at that rpms and can produce 1000 horsepower which is my goal but can I run truck manifolds with vbands or should I run some stainless work headers and it's a t4 turbo

I contemplated the same thing a while back, but ended up having a Truck mani kit fabbed. If you want AC, IMO i'd go with turbo headers(if they retain a/c) and if not, there are MANY proven setups with truck manis.

Turbo headers can be kinda expensive vs the truck manifold setup, and the truck setup will easily get you to your 1000hp goal.

Turbo headers just have that sex appeal though.

Truck manifolds have been nearly 200mph in the 1/4 with the OhioBoys and don't seem to be a restriction unless you are making ludicrous HP.
