The shorty's primaries aren't any shorter than stock manifolds!!!!!
You might lose low-midrange if you had LTs and then swapped to shorty's but that's not what were talking about here.

True but that won't really happen until you get into some very high rpms. Well beyond what these cars are capable of revving to.

If I had a 4v I would put on shorties or equal length headers and never look back. With some cams that thing would own on the highway.
And Tbird, they may be the same length but they are not designed the same. There is a big difference between a manifold and any type of header form a flow standpoint.

iv seen a couple dynodays with a centri car that swapped out to some big shorties from his lts and gained right at 10 RWHP. He was only reving to 6500.
