Need some help from you guys...

Alright I'm looking for some Long Tubes to put on. In your opinion which is the best bang for your buck? I'm thinking the BBK Long Tubes or the OBX Long tubes. I will also be getting a Trifecta tune along with the ghost cam. My car is a DD so which octane do you guys think will be a good fit. I don't really care about the price of gas. Also, I have an E85 fill up like 3 minutes from my house. Thanks in advance for the help! Love you guys (no homo) and gals!

I'm very partial to arh lt's the fit and finish of them are amazing they are a little more pricy but well worth it. with the trifecta I've been told 35+ rwhp by nick at arh. if you like i can pm you a good price. let me know
as far as gas goes 93 does burn better and you will prob be better off with that. e85 makes more power but you use more so the its kind of a trade off

According to some people here on the forum all LT headers will give you the same results. which made me decide to go with the OBX headers they are the cheapest stainless steel.

I think you should go with the 93 Octane for daily driver.here in jersey its about 0.30 difference per gallon x 19 gallon tank = $5.7 extra per fill up. Some people including myself claim that the car run smoother.

E85 is good if you are racing or looking for extra power all the time. but if you are doing it because its cheaper, its not because you will get less MPG's.

If you dont care about the price of gas my opinion stick with the 93 since the E85 is fairly new thing to this car and no one is sure what it will do to the fuel system.

I'm not an expert but the information above is all over the forum. someone correct me if I'm wrong.

ARH are way too expensive. I'm gonna go with the OBX or BBK LT's. Where did you get your OBX LT's BloodUSMC?

E-85 will destroy your fuel system. It will void your warranty. I don't know where this started but use it at your own risk. If you have a yellow fuel cap then you can use E-85. How do I know. I have a 2010 Silverado that is approved for
E-85.

Be smart and ask your dealer if you can use E85. I guarantee they will say NO!!!!

Pain is finding out you just voided the warranty by putting E85 in your gas tank!!! You might as well put diesel in the tank, except diesel will kill the engine immediately, E85 will take time to kill the fuel system.
