all those preachers for big tubes...then theres someone like jim hall whos been doing this all his life and people dont even notice....

MANY gto and G8 owners owners have said they switched from 1 7/8 to 1 3/4 even on cammed na cars and said they could feel the difference in driveability so maybe theres something to understand from that!

This didn't age..well...lol You guys probably sold your cars but 14 years later 2 inch long tubes are king and all you slow guys still running 1 3/4.. I had an old fart say 1 3/4 were best for his ls3 supercharged camaro...what an idiot! Always do research and compare don't go off of feelings. Peace out, heres a pic of my camaro that you guys wish you didn't sell...

My findings on a NA build the only gains I had was in the overrev. Very healthy 416 was used in my test. From the hit to peak HP they were virtually an overlay. It's past peak where the 2" made a few more HP.
