You do have a point. Long tubes are geared more toward high horsepower use and for most street applications, the shorties would work fine. My son who has the long tubes started with a plan he knew would take several years to complete and eventually he is hoping for around 450 horses with the blower . . .BUT, that's still a few months off and he still has some heads to buy first. It's gettin there but it takes time. FYI.. . .the 88 with the shorties pulls like a bull, harder than the 351-C in the 82 and the only mods it has are MSD 6AL, shorties and a Mallory coil, True, it is a 331 and I guess this accounts for a bunch of the torque but probably wouldn't benefit from long tubes until a lot more "stuff" is added.
