I love my 1 3/4 Kook's but I am switching to 1 7/8 due to my S/c kit
I am making over 500 rwhp and think they are limiting my combo some
what. Thoughts?

a friend is making over 540 RWHP from his Maggie, he got Kooks 1 3/4 and I don't think they are limiting his combo! that's my humble opinion..

1 3/4 headers flow plenty, they are perfect for your set up imo.

Rule of thumb the more intake the more exhaust is needed to be as efficient as possible. There is no sense in ramming air and fuel in when the backend is blocked up just IMO.
