Header Help.

I have a 79 F100 2wd, I'm building a 302 with around 350 hp. My compression is 10.1 so I can still run on pump gas. I'm looking to buy a set of headers so should I go with a long tube header or a shorty header. Some guys have told me to go with a long tube header with small tube's, they said it works better for a truck. What do any of you guys think. What are you all running. I have a set of long tube's but they are old and I want to get a newer set. Anyone running a set of hookers oe BBK headers. What size tube's are yoyr all headers to. Thanks

1.5" longtubes are best on the 302 truck motor, these will produce a broader powerband than shorties.
