what would the horsepower difference be in a different set up???
set up #1 jba shorty headers,mac off road h-pipe,2 chamber flows,bbk cold air intake fenderwell,and march pullies

what would the diference be if he goes to bbk long tubes and shorty off road h-pipe.what do you guys recomend that he stays with set up #1 or change. the car is a 1990 5.0 gt

I thought long tubes gave a few more ponies than shorties

Only on certain combos. For a mild combo it can hurt your power.

do u want to spend a few hundred bux and get 5 hp? since u have a decent set up keep it...save the money and get some real horsepower adders liek some heads/cam/intake and a blower =)

Thats funny, I have used nothing but JBA's on all my Stangs and haven't had a problem. User install error?

well you maybe one of the lucky one's

but I seen them pieces of shit crak 3 times on the same car

on anothere car they would leak all the time

to much money for crappy headders

shit they cost as much as long tubes fuck that

well their is the upside that they will get replaced if they crack but fuck who wants to keep replaceing them

oh and im talking about 4.6 not 5.0
maybe they did better with older models

NO, JBA's suck on the older 5.0's too!!....I know of a couple of 5.0 owners who put FMS shorties on their 5.0's because of the casting/manufaturing problems on the JBA's....
