While you don't necessarily need the larger headers, they would benefit you. I'm going to run my hookers for a while once my 427 is done....the step up to some kooks 1 7/8.

As I recall the SBC rule of thumb is minimum 1-7/8" primaries for anything making ~500 fwhp, so I'd have to agree that the 1-7/8's would be the way to go.

Are you more concerned with top end power or low/midrange torque? What's your engine currently built for? Go with the larger primaries for more hp or smaller ones for tq.

cant see the bigger primaries helping my application any more
besides, the car spends most of the time in the midrange rpms... so i want the torque and dont really care for the peak hp... rather see more gains throughout the powerband.
generally speaking, for a stroker... i'd go with the bigger LTs

Re: I'll ask again... 1 3/4
all depends on the hp we are talking about. It is possible for the need of 2" or larger just depends on hp and budget really.
