Id go with TSP 1 7/8 headers and 3 in duals instead.
And id rather go with a 4000 stall.
As for heads id probably look into some LS6 heads.. look into TEA... or livernois and WCCH..

Is it still LS1?
That drive line is going to suck up some power vs a stock set up so you will need to make more power to offset the difference.
The 1-3/4" header will be fine on a LS1 car with single 3"
Ideally a 1-3/4"-1/7/8" step would be the way to go.
If a larger short block is in the future go with the 1-7/8"
Our stage 2 heads will be fine on a LS1 with that small shot of N2o.
If your thinking about more N2o, larger intake or a short block build in the near future go with the stage 3 version with the aftermarket valve.
You can send us your castings to port or we can sell them to you outright.
The intake will be fine or the 01+ LS6 style
