Definitely get the 1 5/8" headers. You won't lose any power down low. You definitely won't notice it if you have gears. If you want mucho low end and midrange then get longtubes. I've seen many 5.0's with stock heads, intake, cam make 235-240 RWHP and 295-300 RWTQ with pulley's, longtubes (1 5/8), off road H, Cat back, Mass Air, timing advance, short belt, etc. This is a very common setup for all the guys who run stock motored 12's.
------------------
3.55 gears, short shifter, BBK headers, Mac Pro Chamber, Mac Cat Back, C&L mass air, Nitto DR's, Nitrous Works nitrous 50-175
Best ET's:
14.14 @ 98 NA
13.46 @ 104 80 shot
with a worn traction lok and 60's in the 2.12-2.2 range.
Up next: Longtubes, short belt and a new differential
