What kind of info are you looking to achieve here? Are you wondering if you will see gains with a cut out or just want to see what a cut out looks like w/ shorty's? If you decide to put a cut out on, I recommend running a electric DMH. Here's a pic of the DMH I ran on my Z28. Great ground clearance with the Eibach Pro Kit. With my AI heads/cam combo it put down roughly 18rwh more with it wide open. Sounded sick too. http://www.streetfire.net/video/adva...-cu_694817.htm

DMH for sure. There has been several threads in here about which has been more reliable and so on...from what I have seen feedback wise, DMH came out on top. Mine worked perfect every time I pushed the button...and believe me that was a lot

+1 for dmh. Ran a qtp and it failed shortly after the install. Have had my dmh for 3+ years now with zero issues.

I honestly wouldn't waste your money on it if you have shorties unless you want it for sound. I uncapped mine in the dyno and picked up absolutely nothing over my GMMG.

Yeah they won't pick up much with shorty headers and stock castings and cam. You would see better gains with one if you had a nice set of AI or LE heads and custom grind cam.
