What's the best performing headers for a 408?????

Best performing headers for a 408 is what I'm trying to find out. Would Grott 1 3/4 work well, or would I need to step it up to 1 7/8???????

Whats your flow and cam in the engine? 1 7/8 are probably the good way to go.

Best performing would probably be More Performance's tri y headers. (notice 3 collectors on each) They're $2,900 though.

1 7/8 should handle your setup nicely.
