What size headers?

I'm going to be ordering some QTP headers and I'm not sure what size to get. I've looked around and I was thinking that I need to get 1 3/4 but I talked with someone else that said I should go with 1 7/8. I know that I'll lose some Tq with the larger size but I should gain on the top end. All mods are in my sig. Any help would be great

Stay with 1 3/4 unless you plan to spin to 6800 or use FI or bigger cubes.

Remember, the torque is what gets you moving. The horsepower is what keeps you moving.

1-3/4 will be fine. The HVMC would be better but it ups the cost.
