Shorty headers

I agree and disagree with this statement as all headers have their place and purpose. If I were building a race car, then definitely full headers. But for an under 500hp small block street car (Not a TV "street car"), it would not make much of a difference on how you choose. To each their own.
Under 500 horse? You had better have headers. Most shorties aren't car model specific but are designed for street rods.
