Will Longtubes help or hurt me???

wow, this really sucks.
I don't know enough about doing work to my car to be able to do all that stuff.

I had to alter/bend my dipstick tube bracket to bolt down in conjunction with the lower center valve cover stud-there isn't much room next to the header tube were it bolted up originally. Now is also a good time to put on new motor mounts. Don"t waste your money with the Energy Suspension Polygraphites becasue there damn near solid mounts and they are exspensive. I recall disconnecting the steering shaft coupler for the installation but can't remember if it was in the directions.

I really can't do motor mounts and bending the dipstick the dipstick tube bracket? what is that all about?
I really wish that I had someone in the area that could help me with this stuff. I really want to do it but I know I'll screw something up really bad.
This just flat out sucks

I was also wondering how much of an effect the long tubes will actually have on the low end torque.
