I haven't asked yet, but I'd imagine they'd recommend smaller headers also since everyone else seems to. The cam lift is .525 i/e, L-98 corvette heads, performer manifold, if that sways anyone's opinion. Looks like most of the replies confirm what I've been told. Don't mess with the large tubes and just go buy a pair of small tube headers.
