1 3/4" headers

I have a stroke 340-416 motor
10:1 compression
Lunatic voodoo cam .494/513 lift duration 226/234
Edlebrock Performer heads 65cc
Edlebrock Air gap intake
Edlebrock performer 750 carb.
72 Duster with power steering
car is mainly for street, hoping for some drag time in the future.

It is time for my engine builder to test the motor and I am finishing the mopart list of things I need and one of them are the headers. Doug told me that we would prefer 1 3/4" headers. I see Hooker has some part number 5115-1HKR but no reviews on the summitracing site as far as fitting.

I see 1 5/8 headers on summit that have decent reviews. My question is how much would I loose in Horse Power sense and torque if I stick with 1 5/8 headers instead of the prefer 1 3/4".


Does anybody have any suggestion for 1 3/4" that will fit the duster with ease?

Thanks

And they fit really well. I did require 1 small dent. I have the smaller 1-5/8 - 1-3/4 header into there 2-1/2 full exhaust.
IMO, an excellent street package.

Watch these videos as they should help show you some stuff.
While the first video may have you saying I'll get the smaller cheaper header, watch on.
