In your research what were some of the pros/cons of the 1 7/8" to the 2" for your application, because as it is now that's identical to what I'll be doing.

I guess thats the kicker, as it is now what I've mentioned is all I'm planning. Pretty sure I won't do more though.

Just seems odd that a 2" wouldn't be needed because isn't it flowing the equivalent of a 500ci + motor with the charger? Looking at what most people seem to be doing is the 1 7/8" so must make sense to do that. Still learning and just curious as for me the price difference probably wouldn't warrant the 2's anyway.

Thanks for the input.
