I think it's obvious what I'd suggest

. I would say if you have the money (which I didn't) go with LT's, otherwise the BBK's aren't all that bad for the money.Tom
BBK are a good quality header. I had some on my old mustang and my friend just took off his LT's and put on BBK's on his Mustang and his car runs much smoother. They are a good quality header. But, with the LT1 being a 350, you would gain more out of a 1 3/4 inch header instead of the BBK 1 5/8. I was going to put either BBK or MAC on my car but now I am going to order some Pacesetter LT's. Cheap and really good quality. Plus, when I get the heads and cam on they will work even better. If you are going to keep your car mostly stock then yeah Shorties or Midlengths will be the way to go. If you plan on doing any type of heads and cam then save and just go with the LT's. In the end you will be more satisfied.

ive heard some fitment problems with the BBKs and plug access problems, but then again some people have used them perfectly, so its hard to say. between your choice i would definately pick the pacesetters over the bbk's.
i have some SLP midlengths i want to get rid of for 190 shipped, for a 93 car too, they are stainless steel and 1 3/4" primaries as opposed to the smaller primaries of the BBks, and the bbk's arent stainless. i have a thread goin over on cz28.com with pics if youre interested. http://web.camaross.com/forums/showthread.php?t=338968

my buddy has the BBK's on his 94 Z28 admitedly the plugs are a real biznatch to deal with but such it the case with most F-bodies we didnt have to take off the header to change them not bad for the money but if you can go with LT's much more noticeable difference and louder
