Is it worth switching from Heddman 1 5/8 shorties to 1 5/8 full length headers?

I picked up a tenth by switching from TES's to hedman full lengths. If you are interested, I may have mine and a custom Y-pipe to hook up to a catback for sale.

I ran the 1 5/8" full lengths on my 383. I only ran open headers so I have no idea how to hook a full exhaust up to them. I got some short down pointing dumps made for the headers because the driver side one would have blown exhaust on the side of the tranny (TH350).

Altitude corrected rear wheel HP based on power to weight ratio: 476.5

Racing at 3500 feet elevation but most race days it's over 5000 feet density altitude!
