Default 2 sets of headers which one

What one of these will make better power? Its 346 that will be H/C/I maybe little spray.

Hooker 1 7/8 with 3 inch collector
Edelbrock 1 3/4 stepped to 1 7/8 with 3.5 collector, welded type not slips.

What is a better header? There both used so looks etc is not a concern, the edels need O2 bungs welded up is all.

havent seen much on the Edelbrocks, but i would definitely go with the Hooker headers. Ran them on my old Fbody and was very happy with them.

I like my hookers too, but I think those stepped headers with the bigger collector may make more power than just the larger primary hookers and standard 3" collector.

Hard to say though without trying both, alright I think power will be pretty close between the two.
