George Baxter had no problem making 700+ hp with his ASM midtubes so don't believe the stories about longtubes making a lot more power. If the longtubes are 1-7/8 vs the 1-3/4 midtubes then you'll see a bigger difference but if they're both 1-3/4 then it's really close. You get better ground clearance with midtubes if the car is lowered as well.
