bbc setup questions

[1971ls1longbed]

Hey guys I have a few questions I need answered about some things. I'll give you the engine setup so far and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

454 block bored.030
Forged bottom end stock stroke
Keith Black 257 pistons
Cloyes timing set
990 rectangle port heads w/ 2.30 intake 1.88 exhaust with heavy porting
Comp solid roller lifters
Comp xr280r cam 242/248 @ 050 646/653 lift on 1.7 rocker power band is 2500 to 6500
comp magnum roller rockers
Compression is about 10.3:1
Rear gears are 3.73
Trans is a custom built 700r4
Stall is 2800

My first question is about headers. Should i use long tubes or shorties? Someone told me that shorties would help with low end torque.
Second question is what intake should I use? I was looking at an Edlebrock Air gap performer rpm dual plane.


Hopefully someone has some answers for me.
