I dont know how the fit would be on your truck but he pacesetters fit like **** on the TBSS. and guys have had fitment issues with Y pipe and o2 sensors.

I'd say 20-30 respectively and they'll lean ya out a tad.

Yes, long tubes respond very well to LS motors, we have seen gains up to 30hp on some applications.
