Changing headers 1 3/4 would I gain any? My set up is a forged LS6 boosted pushing around 10lbs boost according to my autometer guage, I currently have breathless performance headers which are about 10 yrs old. They are 1 3/4 but they don't have the scavenging affect like lg's or american racing at the collector so my question is would I gain more hp or tq switching brands? Thanks
If you could fit 2” primary’s, it would help power everywhere. You’d likely see 8-10 hp. It’s hard however to justify spending that kind of money for 8-10 hp, unless your building a max effort type of build. Definately a beautifully built header!
If you do headers you may have to do exhaust also to get the full effect.
Its worth it, if it’s the last piece of getting the best out of your setup.
But in reality, none of us know if the headers you have are good or bad design.

Isn't scavanging much less important on a boosted engine vs a NA engine since the supercharger/turbo pushes the exhaust out of each cylinder? I would think the primary size would be more important due to the larger volume of air being moved.
