Headers? Need a recommendation make\model of headers for a 2001 Camaro SS. Currently having the LS1 engine worked to a 383 Stroker. Car is intended for track runs. What headers...
- will I see major increase going with 1 7/8" over 1 3/4" (common sense says yes, but is it enough HP to spend the $ for the larger?)
Simply... recommendations?

I would recommend 1-7/8" headers for your set up whether they are bought from us or not. Our headers are polished 304 stainless steel so you shouldn't have any worries about them rusting through like mild steel headers. If you are on a tight budget we also carry Pacesetter black painted headers and it doesn't get much cheaper than those. Though longevity will be much shorter than a stainless set. Here is a link to our stainless 1-7/8" headers on our site. http://www.texas-speed.com/p-291-tex...e-headers.aspx
If you have any questions feel free to give me a call, I'd be happy to walk you through your choices.

Back to the subject at hand I did look at these:
Texas Speed & Performance 1-7/8" Long Tube Headers
base price $539.99
item# 25-1784G304
200 to 500 under most of what is out there with all of the perks I am looking for. Mandrel bent, 16 gauge, with a high chance of some decent HP gain.
Just cant tell the finish. I want nothing chrome due to the heat build up. I prefer if they are ceramic coated and can't find anything that states if thay are coated or not.
It says right there in Lonnie's reply that the headers he linked you to and the ones you have are polished 1 7/8 stainless. This means they are not coated but rather just polished stainless steel. They will start to "blue" after a bit due to heat but will never rust like ceramic coating on steel will.

I see it now. Honestly overwhelmed with everything going on with this build. I've seen where some people thermal tape headers that aren't ceramic coated. Is this even an issue to be worried about that may build additional heat in the engine compartment that may reduce performance even by a few HP?
