The torque loss really isnt that bad.... if you have gears that you wont really feel it because the gears will definetly compensate for the extra loss.

^ yea... i'd be interested in putting two stock 5.0's side by side and having a "race" w/ one putting LT's and one Shorty Equals and see which takes longer... just for ****s and giggles! I'd bet an Abe lincoln on the shorties....







... i know abes are $5 but I'm poor what can i say!
+1 I got 5 on it

i'm probably going to go with JBAs when i do it, i've heard a lot of people complain about the BBKs. but JBAs are really expensive.

there was another thread where people were saying they had a lot of trouble with BBKs, but mostly due to the crappy bolts and gaskets.

just think ahead and get headers that are compatible with your heads or vice versa just as you would with the intake and heads
