Default Long tubes Versus Shorties

Ok I know that long tubes give me more power than shorties but how much of a difference can be seen from switching from shorties to long tubes. In 1/4 times and SOP effect?

I noticed a huge difference after I switched from my Edelbrock shorty headers to my Pacesetter long tube headers. way more low end and top end power. I highly recommend. Even makes it sound better too.
good luck...

you need to tune out the rear 02 sensors so you dont throw any codes. the codes wont hurt your truck though

you don't have to retune with the lt's , but it would be a good idea(More power, runs better/smoother)......
