Thanks.
i run close to the same numbers as you just a tad higher with the 1 3/4 headers our setups are simular but i am on a stock short block and running the l92 truck intake, i went with the kooks f body headers, got them from flaco, had to heat the passenger side to bend them just a tad, cant even tell. to me it feels a whole lot better and stronger. i'd look into them, these heads need to flow!!! on the exhaust side.only thing i changed from the ecsb to the rcsb i went back to a Y pipe, i'll check the dyno numbers this coming friday to see what kind of changes had taken place, but i did run a 12.1x in high humidity couple fridays ago.also rich on the big end. go with the bigger headers if all posible you wont regret it

Get 1 7/8 for your setup IMO.
