Any reason your changing from the 1 3/4s to the 1 7/8s? I've placed an order for the 1 3/4s and the 3" ORY, was hesitant on getting the 1 7/8s since I'm not forced induction...

You sure you need 1 7/8 primaries with your setup?

IMO, the 1 3/4" primaries should be more than adequate for your 6.2

IMO unless your making big hp 1 7/8 is too much, unless they are stepped to 1 7/8.

Data on LS1tech shows otherwise. It's only $40 more, plus, I don't want to be kicking myself later on down the road for not getting them.

I dunno man, unless you're going FI, I think it's going to be overkill...don't forget, you've only got 364 cubes. I thought that you finally got your header situation figured out anyway? Are you doing your own comparo by tryin' every header manufacturer out there lol

I'm going to hit it with a 150 shot of nitrous. Right now, I believe the 2.5" catted Y pipe is costing me at least some. So if I'm going to spend the money on the ARH 3" catless system, I might as well get the most power I can up top. The 1 7/8 will be beneficial with the nitrous IMO. It's $40 more or something, so I really could care less. Swapping out the exhaust is no problem, it takes a little more than an hour.

Oh, and don't be so sure I wont be having more cubes....I've been tossing around the idea of a 408 lately. Something like a TSP shortblock seems fairly cost effective IMO.
