In all actuality you will actually gain lower end torque while sacrificing a lil upper end HP. Long tubes are the best bet all round though IMO. Long tubes will net you better HP in the higher rpms and lose down low torque.

Of course all is based around the build and cam specs and head flow#s as well as the exhaust setup from the headers back.

this is on my track car,,only runs a 1/8 mile at a time.

short or long tube wont really make much that much of difference As pipe diameter and collector size and the rest of exhaust tubing

 

[pissant#420]

keep the long tubes

Long tubes are generally better for drag racing. You might want to run a bolt on collector extension on them.

Like Jack said the LTs are better for the track...I dont think they are worth almost twice the price of shortys but if you already have them it would make no sense to change..
