Shorties Holding me Back? Yes/No I currently have shortly hooker heads, just wondering if Longtubes would help my MPH at the top end of the track

On an N/A motor they add about 15hp up top, or about a tenth & 2mph at the track. With spray it would be more. So yes, they should help. Although you might lose a smidgen on the bottom end, they will more than make up for it on the top end.

I think you would benefit from them for maybe .1-.2 off your ET over your shorties. But that's about it. Plus you get a deeper sound 
. This guy put down over 400rwhp with heads/cam and stock shortblock with shorties though, so it's possible to put out a lot: http://www.advancedinduction.com/AiPerfLT1.html
