Default Headers Vs Z06 manifold

So im wanting to keep my manifolds cause of smog visual reasons. How much Hp would i gain from headers compared to a stock z06 exchaust gutted? Ended up swithcing my YSI to a vortech V3 unit to reach my 800whp Goal on dual nozzle meth 427 heads and cam 11;1 compression. Should i run a 10% lower and a 3.7 upper? ill be shifting around 6800.

My guess is the headers will cost you at least 25whp at those levels. I haven’t seen any comparisons from those that have actually tested it, though. Pulley sizes seem about right.

Cool I’ll stick with the manifolds later in a year or two when I grab a YSI I’ll shoot for 1000whp

Going to hide the meth and all the other non-smog stuff as well? The pulleys alone are not smog legal.

It was noticeable in mine when I went back to the z06 manifolds, etc after having long tubes on it. I would say 25hp minimum, probably more.
