How much will I lose?

How much horsepower and pound feet of torque will I lose on a 10# procharged mustang with 75mm tb/p if I went with Bassani Mid-lengths and cat-less xpipe versus BBK's LT's and a cat-less x-pipe. I always here LT's are better, but I would like to know how much better in this application. Thanks all.

bbk l/t's arent the best....it really wont make a difference until 600 or so i think...cuz the shorties begin to crack.

I appreciate the replies, and confirming what I have already heard, but what kind of number difference is there. And if BBK arent so good what is?

*sigh*I wish Bassani just made a LT Header...

RE: How much will I lose?

I would go with longtubes - they will offer you the most gain initially, and it will give you a bigger gain with your other mods. If you're running a procharger, you also might want to upgrade your clutch/flywheel first before you put that on. If you're running a lot of power, on the stock clutch eventually you will need to upgrade your clutch - and with longtubes, its a PITA to change the clutch - I believe you have to drop the headers to do it as a matter of fact.
