i had dougs 1 7/8" on my 455 thats dynoed 625. Ran it at the strip and then tried hooker 2" and gained nothing in ET. The dougs fit better and easier to put the header bolts in and tighten. Dont waste your $ and time going to 2" on a 550hp motor.Id be curious if you would loose any power with 1 3/4".

Depends on the rest of the system also. If the mufflers/tail pipes are to restrictive the larger header won't help at all. But I agree with Scott70...1-7/8" are most likely all you need.
