Default Getting LT headers but not a cam???????

I am looking at getting some PPC headers. Yes they are long tubes, but I don't plan on getting a cam anytime soon. That will come much later down the road. Are LT's good for engines with a stock cam and just induction mods?? Or would mid lengths be better? I like the price of the Mac's and have heard good things about their numbers. But PPC makes LT's with random tech cats and jet hotted everything (y pipe included) They sound great, but they are $1399, a bit pricey, but if they produce good numbers for an LS1 with a stock cam then they sound pretty good.

So to make a long story longer........
Do LT's produce better numbers for a stock cam, or do mids. Thanks.

hands down LT's should produce more power than mid's. There have been people with macs that have made numbers alittle better than people with LT's, but 95% of the time, LT's will make more power than mid's.

I think the numbers will be pretty similar when you have the stock cam. Actually, when you do heads and cam, they will still be pretty similar, but long tubes will give you more area under the curve.

Go with long tubes if you can.
