Good luck Corky and Jesse. My guess is that there will be very little difference between headers. Theor would say the larger header should work better on your big cude hot rods, but all the dyno compares i've seen only show small differnces (like 5-7 HP) and only at parts of the curve...so i dont think it will be that noticable at the track. You guys are knocking on the door or tens, but sometimes that's a tough door to open.....good luck

Re: What are your guesses???? (ralph)

Bigger motors like bigger headers...I'm currently running a set of 1 7/8" x 30" primaries with 12" x 3.5" collectors... I picked up about 18 rwhp and only lost about 4 lb/ft of tq in midrange when I switched from my LPE 1.75" headers... Another note, I got a snoot-full one night :cheers: and got curious about the primary difference between the Hooker 2151's and the LPE headers (I have both, the Hookers are on the wife's car)...The LPE's are actually a true "equal-length" primary whereas the Hookers actually have some differing lengths (though they are all within a couple of inches). When I cram the new motor in the car I'll be stepping up in size again to a 2 1/8" primary header...
