Building up a 99 drag car. What are the best headers to get the most out of a set?

Internals are stock for now. Will have a good shot of nitrous to it, so won't be long before motor will be stroked and cammed. I figured it will be racing headers as car will not be street legal anyway.

1 3/4" or 1 3/4" stepped to 1 7/8". Brand doesn't matter, they are all the same. I went stainless so they would last longer.
