Good article. Thank you. In it, it stated a 350hp mark. Less power and they recommend shorties but more they recommend longs.. due to scavenging only really occurring at that mark... So back to my engine: 5.0l
Ported gt40p heads- 1.94 intakes and 1.54 exhausts
Trickflow street upper/lower intake
Compcams xe270hr-12 cam
24lb Injectors and 73mm maf
70mm throttle body and egr (plugged off)
BBK CAI
Electric water pump
A/C and Smog delete
2.5"o/r h pipe and 2.5" magnaflows
Am I anywhere near the 350 fwhp?

....... I guess exhaust tuning has no effect below that power threshold........

I can get the shorties for 100$ or the longs for 150$ and I've only got a 1" drop in the front so I can't see clearance being an issue. Anyhow anyone got any information on my initial question concerning affects on power?
I'm aware of the whole scavenging issue just curious to where the differences are in power and at what locations on the band.
