At the upper end of the rpm range lt's & shortys are close in performance.
At the mid range is where the lt' really shine.
As for low end I don't know why the lt's should show any loss as well.
This has been my findings on the old school Stangs with carbs and such and I found no difference when I put them on my 95.

Kinda far. SoCal is pretty broad. Most people don't get it. If your ever this way, let me know. If I ever go up to LA, I'll let you know. I go up there about once a month.
As for the GT40s, I know. There is a really good machine shop here, and they have a guy who spends all day working on heads. He said he can get pretty good flow out of them with the right parts and porting, but they are still iron heads. He showed me all the different heads(afr, edelbrock, trickflow, etc)
I was very dissapointed with the CNC program on the AFR heads. For how much they cost, they ports are terrible. He bench flows every head, and said the Victor Jr's are one of the best "out of the box" performers.
Just what I was told...............................LT

No, no bending. I couldn't bend it the way it needed to be bent. That is why I switched. It would have needed to be bent in two directions, and it just was not possible on the machine. The BBK was already bent in the right directions, I just needed to bend it a little further. Hard to explain it unless you are under the car. Dr. Gas pipe is 100%.
Like I said, it can still be returned be Apr 17th. Probably longer. Neil is really cool at Dr. Gas.
Dr. Gas has the best customer service I have ever seen, and I worked in sales for 8 years, so I critique everyone. They will go out of their way to make you a happy customer. That is another reason I tried to sell it rather than return it. LT

Yes, general rule of thumb, which becomes more apparent in higher CFM applications. Basically our cars (no matter how mod'd) are still very much street cars in comparison to drag HP+ cars and change in power, while still measureable, is very little, only those intimate with their vehicle can detect such changes.
Also I always thought LT's should be quieter than shorty's but obviously louder than stock, due to the kinks in the manifolds. Commonly LT's are thought to be louder simply because of the lack of Cat's.
