So, did some research, Summit says shorty headers are better than longtubes for bottom end torque. With a stock cam, wondering what size headers to get, and, what heads?
Looking for bolt on power, not looking to redo the entire motor.
And no hign energy ignition is needed either, my power band is 0-3000, not a racer.

No that is totally wrong... longtubes out power shorties at low rpms.

Anything is better than stock and there is no downside to using any head up to the flow capacity of an AFR185 on this displacement.

You will feel the benefits of a high voltage ignition from idle speed up.
