Going to longtubes
How much would going to longtubes hurt performance on a stock 5.0?

slight loss of low end torque, but you will pick up high rpm HP (where the 5.0 goes flat)

Should I go with 1 5/8" primaries or 1 3/4"? I'm planning on saving these for the sc stroker.

1-3/4 would be best for an SC stroker, 1-5/8 on a stock engine-mild HCI

Would throwing 1 3/4 inch LT's on a mainly stock 5.0 reduce back pressure too much? I'm planning on a 2.5" H w/ cats into a 2.5" catback w/ muffers and 3" tips.
