The LT's are going to improve your low to mid end where the shorties are going to improve top end only

So you guys think the shorties are going to help the low end to mid and the LT are going to improve the top end? Im going with what talon and zman think, because when i added my first set of shorties my throttle response and launch time was better. My tires were a lil easier to break. Very little mind you, but still noticable.

ok, but you might want to do some off site research before you make a final decision.

looks like the shorties did a pretty good job. Thats a very nice read. The long tubes did make more hp but only 7 more than the shorties. Im pretty sure to fit LT in our trucks we have to mod the Y-pipe. Since i dont have time for that and this is an emergency swap im gonna stick with the shorties. But, once i stroke/swap my engine ill have to to go LT. For my application shorties seem to work well.
