Let me make this clear, and this may have some to do with overall primary size increase and not necessarily all due to the step design, but the powerband shifted drastically. I gained from 5k-up with the straight 1 3/4 and lost a lot below that. At 3k the car felt like a dog. It was such a big difference in torque reduction, my 3200 converter even started stalling less (as stall speed is product of torque input). No joke, the midrange felt weak. The motor did breathe better above 5k, and I know I picked up some ponies there, but I gave up a lot to get it.

Yes but she was the Captain of her track team in high school so there will be a lot of effort to make this happen.

If anyone has b2b dyno results from 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 with the same brand header I'd love to see it. Everyone I've talked to (including sponsors) have all said there isn't much to gain if your below 500rwhp.

I believe Edelbrock has discontinued all of their exhaust? That being said at over 1k for headers they probably didn't fly off the shelves, but as you can see there is not a lot more interest in them since they are a good price.
Why did GM discontinue the F-body, why did GM eliminate Pontiac, why did SLP stop making the Blackwing lids...?

Anyway here is a video of them to see how they fit, ect.
