long tubes for 3.9 don't exist. Only shorties. Mids and Longs are made for the 5.2 and 5.9.

A whole lot of money for no gain. Spintech Mids are $700+, I can't imagine what a set of longs cost.

I put a touch over 100 HP to the rollers with my 3.9 through an unlocked converter and 4.10 gears. Considering it was rated 140ish at the flywheel I think, I'm considering that not bad. And that's with clutch fan delete, 1.7 roller rockers, and a tune.
