In your guys' opinion, what is better for the LT1? I am about to place an order and I'm not sure which I should get. Which is better? Which will I get more horsepower and torque with? Thanks....

 

long tube ftw

 

If your state allows it long tubes all the way.

 

Uh... longtubes.

 

Lts

 

If you have an aftermarket cam w/ more lift you have to go LT no question.

 

Long Tube headers it will be....

Anyone have a suggesstion on brands and where to get the best prices?

 

pacesetter, i recomend coated and dont forget the off road y

 

I've heard that the longtube headers advantage comes in high rpm's and in low and middle range rpm's there is not a big difference between shorty or longtube.
Correct me if I'm wrong...
-e- this was just a thought, half time comment ...

 

Longtubes, non emission type, if you can. Forget shorties, make believe they don't exist.

 

pacesetter coated long tube, non-emission
i got mine from
texas-speed.com
but, basically all of our vendors carry them

 

If money isn't an issue, get Kooks. Try one of the sponsoring vendors for the best price. I got mine from MarylandSpeed.

 

agreed - excellent header.

 

if you want something cheaper than kooks, but better than pacesetters, id look into
hedman, hooker, jethot

 

I belive this is true as well. At low RPM the speed of exhaust being pushed out is obviously not as high as higher RPM's, thus the exhaust can be more restrictive down low and not dampen power output.

Then again when your racing when are you at low RPM's? Maby the first 2 seconds of the race longtubes = mids, but after that its all longtubes.
