Will be picking up a tvs style blower in the very near future for my '14 GT, but wanting to get headers on before I start that. Should I go with the 1 7/8 primary headers because of the blower? Or does it depend on power level? I'm shooting for around 600whp. Not sure if I'd need to be higher than that to justify the 1 7/8.

I'd do 1 7/8. Seems to give you room to grow but you never sacrifice anything to the 3/4 either. This has been discussed over and over and that's what I've always come away with.

There are a few tuners that say 1 3/4 but I think that May be because they are a little easier to tune.

On basic N/A combo's, you could go either way and the car will make the same power, 1-7/8" might have a 2-3 HP edge which is negligible. Once the power starts going up, especially with a blower or healthy nitrous, the 1-7/8" will start to be the better option. Since you plan on boost, just go 1-7/8".

Sweet, thanks guys! Can't wait to get this thing torn to pieces. Trying to stay stock for a couple thousand miles, but it's getting really hard with the season in full swing!
