Default Headers again

Ok, i think i finally have the money to start on my headers and exhaust, if my better half does not need it for something like the last 2 times.

Here is what i have a .60 over l98 with a intercooled D1 procharger with some other very minor modifications.
the car is a 87 with a 700r4 and for now it has a 2.59 rear end in it.

I do plan on building at least a 383 next winter with after market heads, most likely AFR's and a Accel SupperRam so this needs to be considered.

My question is which headers? They need to have AIR fittings and I really like the Stainless Works headers, but i am not sure the primary size is big enough.

Any problems using LT1 headers on a L98? I will be using Lt1 hangers and mufflers with this.

I will be using a X pipe, i belive that the corsa allready come with a H pipe so is there any reason not to use a X pipe and the Corsa's that is if i can afford corsa mufflers.

I do not want this car to be a stereo cop caller.

I do need to install cats on a temporary basis so i can pass Georgia emissions (for Bogus, i just worry about how hot the cats will get under boost. So I am not going there) and plan on using either the burns Stainless V band clamps or possibly the Burns stainless Wiggins Clamps to make them removable.

I have bought a Miller tig and have learned how to use it, and plan on doing the whole job myself, which should not be a problem.

Also what can be used to clean a Satinless weld up as far as the black you get when welding it?

One thing i can not stand is resonance, this will be a show stopper.

Does any one have any suggestions?

How much horse power, and more importantly torque do you think i will pick up over the stock, but gutted L98 system i have installed now?

I will most likley not be back online untill Sunday or monday, but I would like to thank every one for there help on this in advance.
