Me personally.... At least it will give a decent trend to work from. If one specific header is more powerfull, chances are, when tuned or uncorked, the percentege of difference will be somewhere around the same.

Th 2" will be at a huge disadvantage though. I personally run those on my blown 443. I would never do that on a stock displacement.

My vote is 1 3/4 will make more average torque, 1 7/8 will make more peak power, and the 2" will show little, if anything over the 1 7/8"

But the winner will be 1 3/4..

Well you could always counter and tell them that the guys who dynoed their cars with the cutouts showed little to no added HP?
