Curious as to why build an engine with those specs and not go with a 4 into 1 long tube header?

I thought the same thing until I researched headers for my 496 BB build and ended up purchasing Sanderson short tube headers which will produce better torque and hp bottom end and mid range where most street cars are driven. Plus with my suspension upgrades my car will sit lower than stock and ground clearance will never be an issue like it would with long tube headers.

Pretty much the reason why is what OLDCARBUM posted .
Plus last year I had a new stainless exhaust system put on and the shorties will work fine driving around like I plan to do .I will also be dropping front end 1 to 1 1/2 inches and did not want to deal with clearance and re-doing my exhaust .
