Default header selection on ms3 ls1

im looking at texas speeds new LT headers, for my cam only ls1... kinda looking for the proper selection.
i would like to have a good torque curve and didnt know if going that big with the primary's would hurt the tq down low?
maybe texas speed can chime in?

Either 1 3/4 or 1 7/8 will be fine. Pacesetter has a nice 1 3/4 header that is reasonably priced. You can also look into the TSP 1 7/8" LT headers as well. The bigger primary will make better power and shouldn't give up much if any at all down low. I think if it were up to me and I was spending money on new headers, I would go with the primary as it should make better power. Also, if you are looking for a stainless header, we can get you fixed up with them as well. Just let me know what you need and we'll make it happen!

U really dont need the 1 7/8 headers they are used more for bigger power set ups. The 1 3/4 will work quite fine just my .02
