on a stock LT1

I have been reading up on headers by using the wonderful search on this board but haven't really decided on wheather shorty headers, lets say "macs" are better off on a stock car then Hooker LTs. Am I right. I'm still undecided and don't want to blow all that cash and get the same gains or if not better with shorties.

I will also be adding a 3 inch y-pipe and int' pipe.
All I got is a 4' CAI, TBB, Flow Pro Muffler.

Please cast your vote.

The reason why I posted this is because I read several posts saying that guys weren't getting any gains with LTs on a stock LT1. Just wanted to know if this were true. Is too much flow Bad?

Is that why my MACs gave me .3 and almost 4mph? Hmmm...maybe I should have ditched them for some polished stock manifolds...

Hey ramair95ta, I've been using your very car as a guide to making my 2.73 geared TA into a low 13 second car.

All I want to do to my car is exactly what you have done as well.

Thanks to you I'm also making those awsome clear corners of yours.

I'm probably your #1 fan.

Those are awsome times.
