So, for guy's going highway and towing, the issue should be upgrading gears, in my case to 3,92 even 4,10. I travel mostly on flat roads and about 20000km a year on highway. Getting to big gears would get me expensive on gas. But getting bigger a bit should help with SC and CAI. Hummmmm, wife might have a surprise till hunting season. haha!!

horsepower is for bragging rights. torque is for proving rights 
and Frog is right on. comparing shorties vs longtubes, the shorties will offer more torque and the LT's will offer more hp. The torque numbers are similiar, but the hp gains are much bigger with LTs, which is why most people go with LTs.

But I prefer facts and proof than brag.

Is there as much a difference on gas? I get often between 560 to 610Km on a 83 liter fill up. That's cruising at 105-115km/h. What kind of drop should i expect? Those numbers are without my CAI. Gonna know next week on 1800 km travel.

Hey thank's guys, i'm sure that many will like the answers. I really appreciate. Now, for gear reasons, the more torque, the less pain to the engine and more MDS= same millage. well i guess. lol

Gonna jump in here. So in theory, the shorties are going to help burn rubber off the line better than the LTs but the LTs are going to look better on paper but performance wise you wont really notice too much at low end?
