I hear you; and sympathize. Everyone thinks "bigger is better". Not on a street car.
Hope you find some good fitting 1.750 headers for your big block. Way better on the low end, and almost no sacrifice at higher rpm.
I remember an article I read on one of the car mags back in the 70's (I think it was Car Craft, but not sure) about the 10 most common hot rodding mistakes. The one that really stuck with me was "more's law" ... i.e. if some is good, then more is better.
Talked about guys wondering why their street cars would run worth a darn with the "gigantor 909 camshaft".
The key is well matched parts.
