New Small Block Headers

I have a 700-800 dollar header on my smallblock( Doug’s) they are costing me a bunch of power. Nice headers, but not made for very healthy power levels.
The TTI’s ( 1 7/8) will support more power, but they are close to 1100 and not exactly optimal…IE..I would rather run the Headman 1 7/8 race header( will make substantially more power) but require hacking your inner fenders.
So most anything currently available has some warts. I know, have looked at and considered every one of them

If they are costing you power, then they are probably too small. You can't compare 1 5/8" headers to 1 7/8" that's not a fair comparison. Doug's makes a great header as does tti. You have to consider the entire exhaust system not just the headers themselves.
