Which LT1 headers make the best low end torque? short? mid? long? brand? Ok guys i have been searching on here and the net for this info and i just cant find it. most of you only look at headers for drag racing and i am not interesting in them for that. i have a 1995 trans am LT1 daily driver and i want to know which headers make great low end torque? i am not interested at all in high end horsepower. this car will never be revved over 5500rpm's. so do any of you guys have stock dyno charts and then dyno charts after installing headers showing your torque improvements with short, mid, and long tube headers? a lot of guys on here want this type of info but nobody seems to ever tell or have proof of which length and primary diameter does the job well. everybody just yells something like "go long or go home" and thats not what we want to hear. we want actual dyno charts or links to pages that tell this info from the manufacturers. so what do you guys know?

If you are just gonna keep it down low leave the manifolds on or buy shorties. Its not that they make more torque. Just the bigger and longer you go on primaries they higher it moves your torque band. So you get the feel of less power down low but in reality it just peaks later.
