Another header question for ya...

A 86 305 TPI with a Summmit 442 lift cam... should I buy the SLP 1 3/4" or 1 5/8"? And has anyone done this before on an 86 TPI? Will I need to lift the engine... will it bolt up to my existing cat? I'm pretty sure I have the bigger inlet compared to smaller later years.

86 IROC 305 TPI LB9 700R4 W/ Shift kit, K & N, Flowmaster gutted cat 95 Z tips, airfoil, 160 thermo, removed emissions, Summit cam kit 442 lift springs and lifters, ADS super chip, Summit timing chain, modified MAFS, tranny cooler, polished rims, Good Year yellow letter nascar 235/55 tires, polished runners and plenum, 145 Speedo, remote start, keyless entry, alarm, yellow neons underneath.

1-5/8". Stock motor, little cam, you'll end up with zero exhaust velocity and consequently reduced low end torque with the bigger primaries.
