Go over to www.corral.net and search it. There was just a huge thread about them. From what i hear it depends a lot on the motor, some cars pick up torque all over and some theres not really that much of a difference. I have shortys but i'm going to switch to longtubes to get rid of the drone at 2k rpms, make it easier to change plugs compared to my equal length shorties, and hopefully pick up a few ft/lbs of torque across the board.

Equal lengths are a BITCH when it comes to changing plugs and wires. I swear, I have never been so frustrated in my life. I would rather do another cam swap before I change my plugs again.
Well, it isn't really that bad but you get the idea. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

The FMS shorties with the mods listed in your sig WITH the PI swap should be could for 5-10hp...Long tubes will probably give 10-15hp with those mods, BUT they're not legal and they're a bitch to install....
