How much torque loss?
How much torque will I loose installing hooker 1 3/4 long tube headers.
Is the torque loss really noticeable or is it worth it for the higher RPM gains

You may or may not even notice the loss of low end.
It is well worth it however.

The effects of LT headers realy depends on your engine, drive train and tuning.
What other mods do you have?

With that setup and proper tuning I don't think you will lose any low end.
Are those #113 heads pocket ported?
I assume those LT headers will be ceramic coated in/out to assure max exhaust gas velocity.

I agree with Scrop...you're gonna like those headers.
I predict your next mod will be pocket porting those heads... :yesnod:
