It would be very interesting to see what happens if I swap out Longtubes. It might be that I'm leaving very little on the table, or the LT's could really open it up. I'm inclined to the former - LT's might gain me ~10hp (guess). I'm thinking it might get me into the 119's, maybe 120.

I'm on the fence about it. I kinda feel with the extra breathing the cam gave you, it might give more gain than you think. You gonna need them with the super charger anyway, but putting them on now would be more interesting.
