Default switching shorties for long tubes worth it?

i was thinking, would it be worth it to swap my shorty headers for some long tubes when i do a cammed 6.0l this summer? i figure i can sell the shorties and get back some of my money for the long tubes. worth it or not?

Edlebrocks for Thorleys.

Defintly worth it, IMO shorties aren't worth the price. I would defintly get headers though as I think they are a worthwhile mod. Longtubes or stock manifold.

i really think the arizona speed and marine longtubes will flow the best for our trucks, they 1 3/4 inch primaries the thorleys are 1 5/8 i believe. o and yeah i think you should ditch the shorties. with a cam i bet you could see at least a 20 hp increase with the asm's.

I sould definately change out my shorties for some long tube headers. Looks like all the mid/long header are getting similar results on the dyno.
