ORIGINAL: gspfunk

You will definitely want LT's. BBK makes good stuff, but it isn't stainless. I would get ceramic coated as opposed to header wrap. It costs more, but will help control the heat and protect the headers from corrosion. Bassani makes SS high quality headers as well as JBA, IIRC.

What block are you using?

1 3/4" headers should be good, but you'll want 3" collectors and exhaust. 2.5" pipes will restrict your exhaust flow on a 600hp motor.
thats what i was thinking but i wasnt sure thanks for chiming in... i heard nething over 450 and a 3" exhaust would be good
