better size header

[1BAD89]

While 1 1/2" headers might be good for a bone stock motor, makes sense because the stock ones are 1 1/2. IMO your wasting your money going with 1 1/2. First off, they might free up 1hp over the stock "headers" if thats what you want to call them. And if the only mod your planning on is headers, and thats it, headers aren't worth it. Especially running stock heads. Been there done that. The power is in the aftermarket/ported heads. THEN you'll want headers, longtubes at that. If you were to actually spend your money on headers, I'd go with 1 5/8 longtubes. That will compliment mod's to come, and if your like me, the mod'ing never really stops. You really don't want to buy another set of headers down the road, do you? Buying 1 1/2" headers is a waste, you'll see minimal gains if any, hell you won't see much with any headers and stock heads, etc...
