Long tubes are better for all out power, but shorties have there places. Either work better then factory manifolds.

Big power needs long tubes or you'll be chocking the engine up. Stock or warmed up a big t shorties do the trick.

If I built a big block truck I would be running 3/4 or mod length to get the 6/8 drop I want.
