Most longtubes should fit the P heads w/o problems. If you have an auto, you may see soe problems there....

I think you only have to worry about it if you have the GT-40P heads.

97.5+ were all P heads..but just to be sure.........

smokinu....look on the end of the head...3 bars or 4 bars?

3 bars = Gt40 (used on the Cobra)
4 bars = GT40 P (developed for the Exploder, but flow more than the GT40's up to .500)
