Default Longtube question

I was just wondering guys... Does anyone know the general Power gains of Longtube headers over Unequal shorties? Both HP AND Torque, the bolt on myths thread gave me a general idea for HP (up to 17 more than equals) but no torque, and i hear the LT's give a bunch more torque over shorties


also, seat o de pants difference, all gears, etc?

I noticed a difference in mine. It was mostly noticeable above 3000 rpms. The car seems to pick up faster in the higher rpms. It also comes off the line stronger. Not to mention they sound SICK! I cant give you exact numbers, but I will never put shorties on any of my future cars.
