shorties of longs tubes
I just received my engine I bought a couple of weeks ago from the states. I live in Canada, so I don't care about smog tests cause we don't have them. It was dynoed at 468+hp & 402lbs of torque. How big of a difference will it make between long tube headers, equal length shorties, or unequal length shorties? I don't want to rob power by restricting exhaust flow. I know long tubes make the most power but you lose some torque but they're harder to put in. How much more power am I really gonna get? thanks

Re: shorties of longs tubes
i'm guessing the engine was dyno'd with longtubes.

Not only longtubes but 1 3/4 longtubes not 1 5/8.
