Default 408ci which header?

I have a 11.5:1 408 with some pacesetter 1 3/4 and was thinking of going to some Kooks or Hooker 1 7/8. Will it be worth the time and money to do? please dont anwser with "I say Kooks" because I know thier the better header but are they 1000$ better? I want to hear from people that have seen the diffrence

i've been debating the 1 3/4 v/s 1 7/8 for a while and like everything have seen mixed results.some lost 10 rwtq but picked up around 10 rwhp, some said they didn't lose any tq and gained quite a bit of hp. i'm like you, i really don't want to drop that kind of coin to pick up minimal results. on the hose i'm sure a 1 7/8 tube would definitely show a gain but i'm still on the fence n/a wise if it would be worth it. i'm thinking if i was to spend 1k i would just sell my ported 243s and get a set of tfs 235s with the same cc and pretty much pick up guaranteed power.
