1 7/8 headers on 69 dart?

It is a 426 small block. The Dyno say 602 hp@5800 and 616tq@4500 with 1 7/8 Dyno headers. Cam is 408/258dur intake and 408/264 exh. @.050. 1.6 rockers
I have a similar displacement small block engine that was dynoed with both 1-7/8" and 1-5/8" TTi headers, because I already owned a 1-5/8" set, so I wanted to decide whether to spend the money on a set of 1-7/8". The difference was around 15 HP, with an Indy intake and Holley 1050.
