I'm getting ready to buy BBK LT headers for my car but i want to know how much of a diiference in power there is between the LT's and the shorties.
I already have a BBK off road H and flowmasters, but i'm looking at getting BBK LT'S and a BBK off road x. The thing is that i found a good deal on a pair of BBK shorties and since i already had the h pipe that would save me money. I read on here ( i think) that from like 2500 rpm-4700 you lose up to 10hp and at 4800 you gain that 10 back. I think somebody had posted a dyno graph for that.
Will the loss of horsepower be the same with LT's? And how much more horsepower will i gain from the LT's over the shorties? Cause if it's only about 2 hp then i might as well just stick with the shorties since i already have everything else right?I'm trying to not lose so much bottom end power as possible cause our cars suck at the bottom end so if LT's will give me more power in the bottom end i'll go with them.
Also i put links up of what my car sounds like if you would like to hear it. Is there a difference in sound between the LT's and the Shorties? Which would you recommend i do? thanks and sorry for the long post.
