But thanks guys

 

You can only have shorties in CA right? I would personally buy a more reputable brand.

 

you can only have CARB legal shorties but those are way too expensive, whats the best for the money to get? like BBK or even ford racing?

 

I'm not sure on the prices, but Ford Racing is always good. I have BBK long tubes, and they've been awesome for the money.

There's always Pypes, but i've heard mixed reviews on them.

 

o ok well thanks for the info o hey may i ask you why you went with 3.90 gears? im really trying to look into gears and headers

 

JBA makes great shorties for our cars. Look at them. They are in the price range of longtubes but they are carb legal i think. And 3.90's are a good compromise between 3.73's and 4.10's. But if your going to get 3.90's because youre afraid of 4.10's being too much, just go with 3.73's.

 

I'm really glad i went i went with the 3.90's. I can still pull around 117 mph in 4th (which is perfect with the nitrous) and they pull more like 4.10's IMO. My buddy has has 4.10's in his gt, and it feels the same to be honest. The 3.90's just really complement the 2 valve powerband IMHO.

 

Never heard of those... i would get the BBK if i were u, they arent too expensive

 

Do either BBK or FRPP if you have a "friend" in the smog business. JBA is the only one I know of that's legal here ($600 for 6hp). The FRPP's used to be legal (per advertising), but I don't think they are anymore; I was going to do them until I found this out, headers are not something I want to uninstall every two years for smog.

EDIT: Here, check this out /www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/devices/amquery.php The search function on there sucks, so you have to sift through a lot of stuff to find anything, but CARB e.o.#'s are listed for thousands of parts for just about any vehicle.

 

I say do either JBA or FRPP. IMO I have experience with a lot of bbk parts and to me, they are junk. Remember you get what you pay for.
