You can not go wrong with 1-5/8" primary pipes. That is what I would pick if I were in the market.

I do not run headers on any of my cars anymore. They have cast iron manifolds now. Just got tired of the extra headaches.

1 5/8 for great low end grunt, and 1 3/4 for some mid-range and top end pull.

When i bought these heads i was thinking 383/406, it turned out to be a 327

I want to use the good potential for revs and hp but i dont want it to gutless at low rpm.

In other words do you think i would get the best of both worlds with the 1 5/8?

I'd go with the 1 5/8 if that is your goal.
