How much power can I expect to gain over my 1 3/4 TPIS?
I have a 422, ported ls6 tb/intake, 248/248 .621/.621 @ 110 +2 with stage III ARE ls6 heads

Probably not enough to warrant changing them out. Looking at the cost of labor and the difference between your old headers vs new.
Install them yourself and save on labor.

I am going to be installing them, and selling my old ones. Net cost is $400.
I am not sure what the car makes now, never been dyno'ed at WOT.

I changed over to the 1 7/8 KOOKS from TPIS 1 3/4
I picked up about 9 RWHP net and a solid .10 in my E.T...It's all in how bad you want it...
I also sold my TPIS for a net cost of about $500..worth it in my opinion.
