Default quick ? about headers/cam

hey, sorry about asking probably the billionth question on this section, and yes i actually HAVE read the cam guide and everything, but i dont know, im still confused as ever... ive got a stock ls1 6spd, and i want a cam with a descent idle, but with nice perf. gains, this is my daily driver, and im pretty sure i need a 112lsa... but what about matching headers, how big of a cam would 1 3/4 primaries handle??? ive been told that with ANY street cam that i would want, i would only need 1 3/4 primaries, anyways, thank you for all your time and help

guess you didnt comprehend what you "read". tr224 112/114 or if you want bigger FM13. 1 3/4 primaried headers will support more then what you'll throw at it. a stepped or 1 7/8 doesnt provide gains in the rpm range that one would qualify as daily driving. also you'll want at least an ls6 intake if not the fast/nw 90/90 combo.
