What are you currently running and what engine mods have you done? I just picked up some 1 7/8 to replace the 1 3/4 that I am currently running on my 414 stroker.

It's a V3 T trim car now. 674hp. Will eventually get a ysi, few more cubes, etc.
I'll probably spray 100 shot on the stock motor.
It's making 617lb ft right now as soon as I stab it. I don't mind giving up some tq it will just help me hook...

Those headers sure do look good - please post up your thoughts once the headers are installed on the car.

Yes Sir.... I am sure those will help. Very nice... I actually dropped my Z off to have some AR 1 7/8 added to my 414stroker w 150 shot.. currently running 1 3/4.... I HOPE that I don't lose any TQ... But I am sure I am going to give up "some"... currently making 688/718...

Nitrous makes a lot of tq so I don't see you having an issue. Should roll out, I'm sure it will like the larger primaries. I'm definitely not a fan of "bigger is better" all the time, I do however think at this level there are gains to be had. Depends on the intended use for the car too. I mostly drag race lately so I can keep it up in the rpms vs street or road racing where tq down low is more beneficial, to a point.

Mine is for occasional weekend driving and reserved for the 1/2 mi race events... I have tried drag racing and I SUCK! I can never get my 60ft times down... In my own defense, I have only had it at the track once!
My best was like 11.70 @ 123....
This was NA..... No Nitrous at the time...
