shorties suck. your stock mainfolds are kind of like shorties. get some TOG's or AS&M's.

If you dont want to spend too much $$$ you could get some Pacesetter LTs from Texas Speed(sponsor) or Summit for around $400. They are even ceremic coated. Bet they give more gains than some JBAs shorties for less $$$.

To answer your question, I was very pleased with the JBAs on my 4.3L V6. They're well-designed and well-made and helped the performance. But I agree with these other guys that you'll be better off with some long-tubes.
