Default Header question

Have a quick question for you guys. I am swapping an LS1 into my older camaro. I am modifying my old SBC headers to work with the motor. Here's my question, How bad are the 1 5/8" primaries going to hurt me performance wise? The motor is stock right now, but I am planning on a LS6 intake and a hotcam. Might get around a 100 wet shot of nitrous later on too. Will he 1 5/8" primaries be that bad or should I start looking into getting some 1 3/4" headers made up as soon as I can?
Thanks in advance.
Bill

LESRACE, THE 1-5/8" HEADERS ARE TOO SMALL FOR THAT APPLICATION. 1-3/4 WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE TO START.IF I WERE YOU I WOULD BUILD THE HEADERS TO SUIT YOUR LS6 COMBO TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE HP GOALS YOUR AFTER. THERE NO SENSE DOING THE JOB TWICE. OF COURSE YOURS IS A CUSTOM DEAL SO MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE JOB IN THE RIGHT HANDS.
