Default before procharger header?

I have an 02 firehawk. I'm about to order a Brutespeed blower cam in the very near future as I plan on installing a procharger next year. My question is will running the 1 7/8 headers effect performance with the blower cam before the procharger is installed or should I just go ahead and get 1 3/4 or 1 /34 stepped to 1 7/8? Also, how will my car perform with just this cam for now? I'm not upgrading the stock rear cause I will will doing a 9" also in the future.

The 1-7/8 headers won't hurt you that bad, I'd go ahead and go with them since you're going to be adding the blower down the road.

I've had customers install this cam before adding the ProCharger and several of them have reported picking up 60 rwhp. You'll be real pleased with the results. Bob

Yep do what Bob said, get the 1 7/8 headers. Prochargers love to breath and I wish I would have went with the 1 7/8 instead of 1 3/4.
