or like you said they might not flow as well because the dia. of the tubing is smaller.

Those headers are quite small. I would say they would be fairly detrimental to any healthy 350.

Try to find atleast 1 5/8 primaries if not 1 3/4s. collectors on those sized headers are normally 3inch.

well its not so bad then but if you are looking to get the most out of your 305, i would go with something larger. Hedman sells a set of shortie headers that are only $100 and i believe that they have 1 5/8 primaries.

BTW, you may not be able to just bolt any headers on without some custom Y pipe work or a Y pipe sold by the company that makes the headers. Hedman makes a really nice packaged deal. I would look into that at Summit.
