Long Tube vs Shorty headers
I was just wondering how big a difference in power gains there is between shorty and LT headers and if the difference increases as your mods increase. I amjust worried about the California smog laws that are getting stricter as we speak. In my area they have a new program with the chp where they can tow your car if they see anything that even looks suspicious. If something looks like it might be modified and there is no carb sticker for it they will tow you and ask questions later. They will be pulling random cars over to check for modifications. I dont want to get caught up and wondered if I would lose a lot of power by only doing shorties. I plan to put an intercooled maggie on there with headers and a cat-back. How much whp would I lose? Thanks - Colin

I ran 11.06 on borla short/random xpipe/stingers with 7# on an ati stock kit with a good tune by Ed Wright 3500/3.42 stock tranny with 315 bfg drags on my 2002. I just changed to a set of Kooks lts only cause I was given them.Pm me the borlas are fs if you want them.
