Are there any downsides to having LT's on a allmost stock motor? What are
the benefits compared to shorties. (I have full exhaust with CAI,Gears,Intake)

My motor is similar to yours, intake, exhaust and gears. I added LTs over my shorties and gained 8 tenths. I also added pulleys and swapped out the catted Mac H-pipe for a prochamber.
