Default Shorties killing 383?

I just put in a Golen 383 440 hp longblock in my 95 Trans Am.

These are the specs on the heads and cam
LT1 castings, ported
440hp @ 6000rpm 460 lbs/ft @ 4100rpm
Duration:
Intake: 224@ .050
Exhaust: 230@ .050
Lift:
Intake: .540
Exhaust: .550
Lobe
112
I have RK Sport shorties from back when I had the 350 in there. Are these shorties hurting my power? What would be the gain if I switched to longtubes? Will it make that much difference?

I kinda ran out of money so I had to stay with the shorties that were already on there.

I'd say save your money and upgrade to some LT's. Will bring out more horsepower and Tq. Look into Pacetter headers. Best bang for the Buck.
