Regardless of future modifications you will get more with longtubes, although shorties might be an alternative at your current state of mods. For what it is worth, shorties are not cheap and you can get a pair of longtubes for the same price, might as well get longtubes.

Shorties here 1/5/8 with a 2/1/2 collector welded up to CATS shoved right up into the engine bay (as per emissions spec. on the GTO). I also run a 2/1/4 catback and 3200 stall.
12.2@112 all stock motor and 11.9@114 212-220 cam only.
Dynos mean ****. Ive always dynoed low compared to most ppl. out there. Settle the war where its fought - at the track.

Id go with the long tubes and true duals. When I had my 1997 Trans Am I had Hooker long tubes with 2.5" true duals, CAI, 3.73, pulleys, reprogrammer, adj. fuel pressure regulator, pretty much bolt on's. It had a great mph (110mph) I dont remember the time, I was surprised to see that mph for the mods I had.

My JetHot Longtubes should be removed in a week or so (can find out from Gforce when exactly) and I'm going to Kooks LTs and will sell these cheap if your interested. I paid $520, they are about 2 yrs old, in good shape send me a pm if your interested. Only reason I'm upgrading is I'm stroking, they were good headers.
