The 1.7 will allow more air/fuel to enter into the combustion chamber which means more power, even if it's not noticable to the 'butt-o-meter'
Since you are already blown, a set of heaqders should be your next step. You are forcing all that air into the engine, so it has to be able to get out easily.

What size of header primaries should I go with for my current mods and if I go with the 1.7rr?

You are going to have problems finding anything other than 1 5/8" primaries, so they will probably be your best bet. 1 5/8" will be a ton better than you stock crimped up headers. I used FMS headers on my Mustang and found that they are very high quality pieces. Take the time to grind the welds on the inside of the flange. You might also want to upgrade your factory cat pipe while your at it since you'll have to unbolt/remove it anyway.
