Ron,
Get the long tubes. IMO, don't mess with shorties. Long tubes are a
pain to install, but well worth it! If you plan on moving up to CP and
making lots of power, consider going to 1-3/4" primaries instead of
1-5/8". You might lose a little low end for now, but it'll be worth it
later on when you slap on some heads and such. FWIW, I'm running a
completely stock 5.0L with Texas Turbo full lengths and last time I
checked, the car pulled 250 rwhp. Not stellar, but good for a stock
motor anyway....
I'd top it off with a 2.5" (or 3") x-pipe and some good mufflers
w/dumps if you can handle the drone.
Good luck,
Tommy
