Default LS7 427 header size?

ive built a serious LS7 for a conversion into a 1977 holden torana and i have to get custom headers made. engine should make around 700hp on E85 fuel plus upto 200 of nitrous.

i thinking 1 7/8 gonna be to small and im looking at 2in set or 2in into 2 1/4.

what your thoughts? car is 30% street and 70% drag

I would go with 2in for sure. Mine has 1 7/8 which I ran on the smaller engine and they worked good on it.

Bare minimum 1 7/8". If it's in the budget, the 1 7/8" stepped to 2" would be great as well!
