Default Should I get 1 7/8 Headers? Or keep my 1 3/4s?

Ive posted this before but it was a long time ago.

My setup:

*396ci LT1
*280 @ .550
*23x/24x .6xx/.6xx
*Victor EFI


Will be seing a very large shot of nitrous too.

My question is, are my 1 3/4s still gona kick *** for the new build or should i look into some 7/8s?

i agree.on a big shot of spray is where the 1 7/8 tubes will shine since you will be moving a huge amount of air at lower rpms.

I saw a niiiice gain switching to 1 7/8 stepped to 2inch on my stroker motor.

No loss of low end at all.
