You know, everybody always dogs shorties on here, saying that you'll only get 5hp. Who posted that dyno result. I'm sure it was before I was here, and I've checked the archives. I really want to do headers, and I know there's a lot of power left on the table there. But one guy posts that his truck didn't see any gains and all of the sudden shorties are crap. Who was this person? Was it several people? I need a link, because its bugging me.
I can't justify spending the outrageous price for ASM's or TOG's when I could do a 6.0 swap for that price. Plus IMO for that price, the quality control could be a lot better. Thorely's are cheaper, but by the time you add the ceramic coating, you're looking at close to 700 bucks. I just don't get it.

I'm more interested in the torque curve. The shorties will bring the torque in ealier I don't need the high rpm gains of full lenght . I'm never there. IMO shorties are better for off roading or daily driver. Better throttle reponse at low rpms were my 4x4 needs it. slight HP gains also prolly 6-10 . Now on my v8 s-blazer 2wd 3" drop I run hooker full lenght for the advantages they give me for racin.
