Default Long Tubes??? or Mid Tubes????

Alright guys, in the everlasting quest to design the perfect setup for the most power, I have yet another question. Should I lean more towards long tube headers? or mid lengths? I've heard a little bit from both camps, but I'm lookin for some strong opinions here... <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" />

Oh, and before you ask, I'm eventually gonna head toward true duals, but in the meantime, I'm strongly thinkin about a GMMG catback w/ a aftermarket Y pipe setup... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
