If you want all the power you can get it's hands down long tubes, if you are after street performance, quieter with some power gains go with the ram airs. You said earlier that this was essentially going to be your daily driver. I think you need to slow down here, make a plan and stick with it. Don't buy anything else until you are certain about what you are going to build. I know others will disagree, but i just don't see much use for a shorty header on these engines since that is essentially what a ram air manifold is.

I don't understand why you are telling me to slow down on purchasing parts? I am focusing on engine stuff while I wait for my bodywork. Anyway that aside the hedman shorties even coated are cheaper than the ram air manifolds. I have no problem running headers on a street car other than the fact that I have heard several times that fitment on early a bodies is a nightmare. Just from my own observation I don't see how you would get longtube headers that didn't interfere with the steering shaft. The shorties were just an idea. Isn't that what these forums are for? To float ideas and to learn from other people's experiences
