You don't need the complete kit because your fuel rails will be used with the new manifold. The plenum and runners will bolt onto your stock base manifold but to get the full benefit of the SR you should get the lower 74197 as well. You can run the stock injectors as well unless you have a modified 383 or bigger. Then you should consider a larger injector size.

I agree, get the whole set up. You can find it cheaper on e-bay. I paid $1200 for a new set with base, runners and plenum for my 86. I picked up 2 mph in the quarter with opening the air box, a K&N filter, and removal of the MAF screans. I picked up 5 mph with the addition of the accel super ram. A hypertech chip made no difference compared to the stock chip. The bolts that bolt the plenum to the runners are tedious to install. Get longer bolts with nuts to screw them into. Your 91 doesn"t have a MAF, it's a speed density ecm, and may need to be reprogramed.
