Are the SLP intake runners worth the money for a L98 auto?

SLP would make more power then stock but less power then some of the better runners like AS&M. That's offset by SLP being nearly half the price.

nothing is worth anything, whatever the price may be, unless you look at it as a package, if you're just putting intake runners on, forget it, you're wasting your $$. you need a much better intake manifiold (Accel Superram) at the very least. what about the rest of the system? exhaust (long tube headers)? goals?

don't just slap on one part upgrade and expect much anything to happen.....it won't. the system is only as good as its weakest link. in an L98, it definitely the intake manifold -- as well as the entire exhaust.

oh, and thats just the beginning!

Factory tpi is 99 % effective. Very hard to make measureable improvements without a total rework. Seat of the pants gains are almost impossible. Most are only seen on the timeslip. I ran the slp runners for years. I liked the look of them. Good thing, they gave my car nothing in the et or mph dept.
