Shorty to longtubes question
Just registered so forgive me if wrong section. I own a 99 auto car, FTI 3600 converter,3.15 gear,B&B tri y headers, cat less x, corsa catback, advanced induction ls6 cnc 225cc heads, comp 212/218 521/529 cam, ls6 intake, crane 1.8s, bbk 80 Tb, blackwing cai. My question is am I leaving a lot on the table by the shorty headers being on the car? I know there should be a pile left being that it has a baby cam with the 225cc heads. Any suggestions?

I don't think the headers will make as big a difference as the cam. On a dollar per hp basis, the header upgrade may not be worth the dollars it will cost to change it out. Tri-Y is also a good design. I ran my QTP Tri-Y back to back against another 4 to 1 header and lost power throughout the RPM range so be careful. (I put the QTP's back on the car and they won't come off again).
