I currently am running BBK Equal Length Shorty Headers. I was just wondering if its worth it to switch to full lengths? would I get any noticable increases or is it a waste of time at this point?

I think, as you said, at this point, it is a waste of money and time.

I just did the very same thing you did, switching from equal lengths to longtubes. I noticed nothing significant enough to really warrant buying them. On a 302/306, the only reason I would get them is for sound (I like the sound better) or if you want every little bitty bit off of your time...

IMO, it isn't worth it for what you get...
