1 3/4 flow great on a bolt on car. Unless someone shows me some track times that prove me wrong I stand by my statement. I will agree that on a H/C car the bigger headers are the way to go.

You stand by what statement? I think everyone will agree 1 3/4 flow good for a stock car, even a 408 stroker.
What is your point?

If you aren't going max effort or don't care to spend 200$ to swap to them plus the 4 hours it takes for the maybe .1 and 1mph they give it isn't worth it.
