Default Are Shorties worth the money...

I know longtubes will get me more power but for the money would shorties work just fine?

What kind of power increase is there over the factory manifolds with shorties?

how about power difference between the shorties and the lts?

Save a few more for LT's Shorties is a glorified manifold.. You will see more mid and uptop with lts.. Also depending on what shorties your looking at, some of them are just as much as some long tubes..

every single car i have owned , i never thought or even considered Shorties .. waste of money imo , save up for some LT's i know for a fact that Pacesetters make affordable Lt's .. get those or save up for something huge for a better quality LT's Dynatechs or maybe american racing ..

OooooH u have a 4x4 then forget the Pacesetters those wont work .. get Dyantechs or American racing .. those are the only ones that will bolt right up but sure cost $$$$$$$
