1 7/8s or 2" headers?
Which one will be a better header for a C/H/No2 setup? Also how would a 2" act on a bolt on car? Thanks.

What does "C" stand for? Either way, I would say 2" long tubes for the drag strip if that's your thing. There's more upper rpm power there even with just bolt ons

im assuming C is cam H is heads. So essentially a fully built motor on spray.

Yeah, the "bolt on" car designation is throwing me a bit

I doubt 2" will give up much, and with n2o or the need for more power later you will be covered. I would just go big. I wish I did 2" the 1st time.

2" gains on the high end. If you're going "full bore", they're good for a few extra HP at the top of the RPM band. 1 7/8" are sufficient.

2" gives you a lot of room to grow. These cars like the 1 7/8" alot and the 1 3/4" Tri Ys even more. Be happy to help if you have further technical questions. There are a lot of good choices out there! Ivan @ Southwest Speed |
