My mouth is watering. I'm having similar done soon, nearly the same cam and all...but I'm still up in the air on headers. (Since I've found out that I can have them where I live.)
I keep wondering what 1 7/8" would do with about the same setup.

I think you would be better off with 1 3/4" myself, doesn't seem like the larger headers have any advantage under 500 hp.

I know by the cam that the OP didn't want to sacrifice drivability at all. Having driven the car a couple months now, do you think that you wouldn't have minded going with a slightly bigger cam?
