In my limited experience, the closer the LSA, the more RA exhaust manifolds hurt. Keep you LSA around 114 and they won't lose too much.

Save money. Run your stock logs. No need for RA manifolds or headers.

Just buy the 2.5 mandrel bent downpipes from Pypes, and put mandrel bent pipes all the way back, no compression bends! Remove the heat riser from the passenger side log, plug the shaft hole.

My Super Comp headers are hanging on the wall, and my other sets of headers have been sold, in favor of stock looking logs.

Oh yeah, my engine is a 433ci, has a Comp roller cam, Carrillo rods, Ross pistons, modified tripower, and needs a mixture of race gas if I lean on it.

According to SD Performance http://www.sdperformance.com/moreTech.php?newsID=39 you want to run a LSA of 112 or larger and keep the duration on the smaller side to reduce overlap if you are going to run RA Manifolds instead of headers.
