optimal turbo header design

alright ive goten all of my parts now for my build.the last step now is to put it all together.but im having trouble finding out what would be the best header design to use(im makeing my own header).the turbo is a t04e stage 3 57 trim with a hotside ar of .63.Now is it better to keep the header primarys short and seperated/or long and seperated till they meet the collector/turbo inlet flange.?or would a log style with very short primarys and say 2.5-3 inch diam collector say 12 inches long be better.i plan on making the primarys out of 1.5 in diam tubing.btw this is going on a 2.8L V6 camaro

Car: a car being parted out
Engine: blown up
Transmission: in peices
To be really honest there is not much difference a street car will see between an equal length (or pulse drive) or unequal tube type manifold.

Even a very well done Log style will perform just as good on street/strip duty (not to mention last longer as it would be easier to reinforce). Very high HP drag cars can use the benefit of pulse drive manifolds, but otherwise... it's not really worth all that headache.
