Need Header Advice

[NewToFord]

I am putting my car together. It is a mild 306 11 to 1 compresstion tremec 5spd. I was wondering what to do about headers. Should I do long tubes or short tubes. I was thinking about the 1 5/8 bbk ceramic long tubes with off road pipe. However I was told that the long tubes would be over kill with my set up and I should go with the shorties by bbk. Install is not a big deal because I just have the motor laying in the car with no accesories on it. Any suggestions? I was thinking by the money I save with shorties it will pay for my cat back.

every test i have seen shortie vs long tubes the hp difference is very minimal like 5 hp or something u will hear more of your cam if you have ong tubes in my experience but shorties are way easier to install just my .02
