I saw an old thread whre Gybson shorties where dynoed before and after and they put out about 4-5 rwhp. I have heard people having better results with JBA.

JBA is by far the best quality shorty for these trucks......I have the edlebrocks on my truck and they are ok.

Another vote for JBA. I used them on a '99 5.3 and '01 6.0. Very good quality! I tested the set for JBA on the '99. The truck picked up 12hp.

I have gibson shorties and I am happy with them. Gained about .3 in the 1/4. A lot of ppl talk good about JBA but they were to expensive when I put these in.
