Default Header advice for boosted lt1

I just baught some 1 7/8 long tubes for my 94 z28.... but I have been looking around and I'm not too sure that was the right buy.... my lt1 is bored .30 over with a lt4 hot cam and 1.6 roller rockers and I have a Paxton procharger I'm planning on putting on it.... I will be pushing about 10 to 11 lbs of boost.... will the 1 7/8 headers do good for my lt1?

They won't do poorly, not sure what your question is? AFAIK that's probably the biggest header you can fit, so make sure the rest of the exhaust is free flowing and be happy

You will be fine with those. What does the rest of the exhaust look like?
