In the latest camaro now magazine, they put an ls9 blower on a ls7 and kept manifolds cuz headers made less HP but made more torque. They reused them on the ls9. If the can support blown 640hp on bigger cube engines, they should flow plenty good for a h/c/I 346. Just my. 02

Again, not trying to dissuade you from making your decision...but I have seen nothing to convince me that they are any better than a set of shorties. Perhaps the additional gains you're seeing are a result of incorporating the 3" mid-pipe? Not everyone that swaps to the LS7 manifolds also swaps in the mid-pipe. Could be some more HP there?

I have them with a aftermarket x pipe and I would bet anything my setup puts down similar numbers to a comparable car with LTs and probably more once the cats are removed. The only negative is the weight.

With all due respect, I like hearing real world facts based on proven emperical data...not unqualified statments based on nothing more than one's opinion. Just my $0.02...
Sounds like you've convinced yourself...let us all know what real world results you get. Before & after dyno's w/o changing the existing tune, 1/4 mile ET's and trap speeds, etc.

I sure will. Not before and after dyno but trap speed for sure. I just like hearing what people thought of them who have used them and with experience. Which is why I made the thread asking who IS using them.

Budget Cheap and HP is an oxymoron.
The Least expesive way is just put on a CAI, Blackwing or Haltech and a dyno tune.
Total $800 that will get the MOST HP for the least amount of money
Bolting on other parts wont get you much if any more

That's about what longtubes make on a stock car. The longtubes in themselves are only good for 10-15 on a bolt on only car and another 5 or so with a tune.
