Would I gain anything from 1 7/8 or stepped 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 from 1 3/4 headers?

Would I gain anything from 1 7/8 or stepped 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 from 1 3/4 headers? I currently have 1 3/4 stainless steel Kooks headers and was wondering if I would gain anything from going to 1 7/8 or stepped 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 headers? The heads are still completely stock and so is the bottom end, but I do have a large cam (T-Rex). I'm pushing 408 rwhp through a fully built 200-4R, loose unlocked converter (PT4400), Strange 12 bolt w/a 4.10 gear, on slicks. I have every bolt on out there on the car. Looking to squeeze every last HP out of the setup. Thanks.

The stepped headers are usually worth 5 to 7 rwhp across the board. I think they would help on your setup a lil.
As for cost, when you sell yours and buy the new ones its almost a break even deal....
BTW, I have a set of stepped 1 3/4 x 1 7/8 if interested
Shoot me a PM

Ive seen stock internal cars gain quite a bit actually going from 1 3/4 to 1 7/8.

Sounded like the bigger pipes hurt torque and only provide gains at high rpms.
