I'm actually going to get the tick polluter stage 3 cam, as far as the headers all the dyno test videos I've seen on the LS3 that the 1 7/8 really doesn't give much of anything and you actually lose a little torque down low. Unless I'm going big cubes or forced induction I'm not giving up much of anything with the 1 3/4 and more torque down low. I want to change it the harmonic balancer anyway because they are crap and wobble , so might as well do the UD pulley.
