Well not to get too far off the topic, but I am on my way out with a bum back. I messed it up while training in NJ to guard "suspected terrorists" @ a base south Iraq. So now it is 2009 (I got hurt in Nov 07) and I still am in and have been told that I will retire with 40% disability from the military, now that is not the VA. But I have been through just about everything they can do for me, including non-invasive surgerys. So I just stay on the narcotics for the rest of my life. At least that is what they are telling me to do! I hait drugs.

-The shortys will only really help on the top end. So it is up to you on what you want to do. I think it is one of those things we have to deal with on certain trucks that have the hesitation, because I havn't ever heard of anyone fixing it. I have heard of them covering it up by putting performance add-ons on, but never fixing the problem.
If you ask me, I would like to believe that it is a computor problem. Maybe tuning can fix it, maybe it is the time the computor takes to register the throttle position versus opening the throttle body and adding fuel? I don't know that much about it to really tell what it is. Just my thoughts.

 

Look up LLP on the google or yahoo search. A bunch of guys on www.ls1truck.com are running SLP, Pacesetter and or LLP long tube headers. I was just wondering if the shorties made a huge difference. I ran shorties on my 90 model and they made a great difference.

Shorties wont do very much since the stock manifolds on the LS motors flow almost as good.

i have a set of LPP's sitting in the back of the truck waiting to get put on.

 

I think the shortys helped so much because of the higher amount of low end torque on a 350. Since the 5.3's and 6.0's have better flowing stock exhaust manafolds, the shortys don't help all that much. I think you should be able to get long tube headers and wrap them so you get all the heat away from the exhaust ports and it helps to "pull" the ehaust out of the combustion chamber.
That is what I would do, then get a Nelson tune. So you can get the most out of the mods you have done.

 

I agree with him!! LT's all the way.

 

Ok so who is sending me their shorties so I can put them on my truck?
