[V8Vairs] RE: Header choices

I measured the headers yesterday and I think the Hookers are actually
1-3/4".
>From what I've read, narrower tubes develop torque sooner, but will it
be a huge difference?

I have two sets of headers to choose from and I'm looking for
advice/opinions. 

The first is an original Crown set, I think they're 1-1/2" with 3"
collectors.
The others are Hookers, made for the Crown conversion.  
They are 1-5/8" with 3-1/2" collectors.  They also have heavier wall
tubing.
I plan to have them ceramic coated.

The motor is a mild (RV) cam 350 Goodwrench with Edelbrock Pro-flo EFI.
(305 HP) Car will be used mostly street, occasional racing.

The extra set will go with the car I'm selling.

Thanks,
Toby
