Yes, they are probably the least desirable of the aftermarket runners.

if you have time and patience they can be as good as any runner out there. out of the box their casting is terrible. so if you do buy the slp's they will require alot of work.

How come they are considered the least desireable?

From what I remember, they are small. Also they are heavy. So there is not much gain unless you port them witch takes many hours. dagrump has some that he ported awhile back, he cut the tops off the tubes to port the whole length then welded them back together.
