1 5/8's LT's or 1 3/4's shorties? Why?

I have always wondered if 1 5/8's Longtubes are better(in both torque and HP) than
1 3/4 shorties.

Also what would you reccomend/pick and why?


Any opinions appreciated. Thanks

Yeah no need to help people tell them to search. You know you could have provided a link if there is one. I really hate that answer on this board. i have used the search button many a time to help or attempt to help someone find what they are looking for. If you must point out the search feature you could at least be helpful enough to provide some sort of a link to something useful.

Have you ever heard this saying?

"Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."

If I go around giving people the answers all the time, for one, my fingers will be cramped up, and the other, nobody will learn anything for themselves, they will expect to be spoonfed everything.

The topic of longtubes versus shorties has been discussed on this board over and over. A simple search will reveal quite a few answers. If you still have questions, then feel free to post and ask about what you didnt understand.
