The combo has potential for about 210 hp. A 1 5/8" header begins to brake hard at about 195 hp. So yes I think you should switch to a 1 3/4" header.

Your choice. But for the engine size and parts the 1 3/4" is better suited. You will get more usable power.

Yes. The Fk87 isnt exactly strong in the lower rpms, so the engine needs all the help it can get.

I do not have loads of experience with 200+ hp type 1īs. But what I have seen is that even on a 2387 pushing 235 hp. the 1 7/8" was on the large side. For all out racing, fine. But the streetability was better with a 1 3/4", and it didnt really loose anything on top. It just maxed 200 rpms earlier.
