cool thanks for posting up a comment and letting me know...
As much work as it is to install them, and as much as they cost, I wouldn't even consider installing long tubes if they didn't give a gain of at least 11 horsepower.

it doesnt take long at all.... i did it with floor jacks, jack stands and hand tools
sprayedenali: i like catching, but not fishing
DBTBSS: bring Tyler... we need someone to make fun of
MidnightRider: your right im gay
DamnYankee: my nana failed
DamnYankee: confused...if it can't keep up to begin with, how can it keep up
mitch cobb racing: ya, allen played with it for a while, HUGE difference
Headers may only gain you 10 hp on a stock engine but it enhances the performance of other mods as you go along. A cam with stock exhaust won't output as much HP as a cam with LT headers....etc

well, i do have a procharger and already had a catback, but 10 seems like a very low gain. i just installed long tubes and y-pipe and on the butt dyno i felt what seemed like 30 or more, the trucks revs like a bike and just freakin roasts the tires in first and second.

well if allen says 10 i'm sure he knows, maybe my dyno needs to be calibrated.

I've heard that to even feel a difference, you need at least 25 more HP. I don't know, though.
