Default Stepped headers or non stepped

Well I'm looking at getting some more power out of my heads cam 6.0L debating on getting the TSP 1-7/8 f-body headers or the kooks stepped 1-3/4 to 1-7/8 f-body headers. I'd like to get some more torque out of it and I'm leaning towards the stepped headers let me hear what you guys think.

Dyno before & after, and sell the ones that lose on the dyno.

Might help with suggestions if you mention your setup. I see your truck on here all the time, and it looks great! Sounds great too, but I have no idea what your setup is, or how hard it runs(1/4 times?).

EDIT: The more I think about it, I'd bet that the Kooks headers will make more power than the TSP's either way. So if those are the only 2 choices, then I'd say pick the Kooks.

Why would a 1 3/4 stepped to a 17/8 make more power VS a header that already has 17/8 tubes all the way to the collector?
