650 Hp headers- What size pipe? What size engine pipes and twin exhaust would you need for a motor that puts out 650Hp N/A at the crankshaft? Cheers Russ

I am buying the Trickflow 225cc CNC ported 65cc comb. chamber heads. These heads flow 259cfm on the exhaust at .600 lift. I have found a graph on the net under David Vizards exhaust article and according to this graph it is something like 2 1/8" primary. Then because I am running 8 psi boost the pipes could even go bigger. My ls2 is still 364 cubes. Does anyone have any other thoughts on this? Cheers Russ

Go 2" and be done with it. i've got 2" Kooks on my 454 and it's NA. a boosted 364 will move the same or more air than my 454, the more pipe you have, the better. i would AT LEAST go 1 7/8" stepped to 2" witha 3.5" collector, but that's just me. the car would still run fine with 1 7/8" x 3", but i'd go bigger.

you could use 2in headers but might lose a little down low with small cubes.when we dyno tested my motor we tryed stock ls7,1/34,1/78,2in headers mine just liked the 2in ones.i will tell you there was not a huge diff between them all.i made 653hp on the stock ls7 quads.
