Default headers for gt40p heads

i was told my shorty headers wont work, but long tube will. why is this? im putting them on tomarrow because i leave for alabama on wed. and i want to have it complete before i leave on vacation. just wondering i'll buy them if i need them i found some from a friend ceramic coated and almost new for 75 bucks. this my sound stupid but what is the difference in shorty and long tube performance wise.

My BBK unequal shorties fit fine on my GT40P's,as mentioned I had run a plugwire with a 90* boot on #7 sparkplug. The P's are good heads, you will like them.

Default RE: headers for gt40p heads

well decided not to do it yet. im waiting to get a cam and upgrade the springs, rr's, and push rods on the gt40p heads i got. i have a pretty bad leak comming from my timing chain cover so i want to replace it all with one teardown. may also have themmilled a little. iknow this has been posted before but what cam should i use. i have gt40 upper & lower intake, gt40p heads, msd ign., cai, and should i get the rebuild gasket kit for the 01 merc. mountaineer so i get the right gaskets for the intakes. because the 5.0 mustang one is for the stock intakes. thanks for all the help!
