As far as I know you can't pass smog with LT's. Although I have heard a rumor that the new BBK LT's are CARB approved. You may want to check into that.
As far as seeing gains goes, when I made the switch from shoties I could feel a difference right away. Gained just over 1.5 MPH, but I also ditched the high flow cats for an o/r pipe at the same time.

I gained almost precisely 1 mph and 0.1 in ET swapping the stock shorties for MAC 1 5/8 longtubes. I already had an off-road H.

I swapped from JBA shorties and a 2 1/2" off road H-pipe to Hooker longtubes with a custom made 3" off-road X-pipe (using a Dr. Gas center section) and gained exactly NOTHING
