What is your goal for this project? 3 inch may be too big and disappoint you.

It's a 70' c10 LWB, lowered just an inch or two but may go lower later. 10-1 355cid big cam (comp 280H) big stall (3000), th400 and 3.73 mini spool, Holley 750 DP, basically a fun truck to roast tire in when I get home from work on the weekends, and one day when I feel that the suspension and brakes are safe enough I'll take it to the track. Ultimate goal is to get her into the 12's, I'd be a real happy camper if I did that!
Watched quite a few dyno tests and all they changed was the pipes, 2.25" lost some top end to the 2.5" and 3". The 2.5" and 3" performed almost exactly the same except the 3" made a few more ponies waaaay up top. The 3" did not loose ANY low-mid range to either the 2.5" or 2.25". All this was done on a 400hp 9.5-1 383 stroker
I'm real tempted to build an X-pipe too, saw some great results from those on SBC's
