Default Intake runners ?????

Are intake runners (SLP, TPIS,etc.) worth the effort with the stock manifold. do they make any difference or will they bottle up when they get to the manifold? I am getting ready to spend some $ and need some suggestions on which way to go. I have decided to replace my diff. (2.59 gears) with a 3.07 unit, and don't know where else to go.

Thanks,

I got to agree with 65Z01, exhaust mods will yield much better results.

My dream vette is a 90!! i've got all the mods laid out in my head.. First i'd recommend getting new manifold with new bored runners.. new throttle body, ram air, hypertech chip, throttle perfomance chip.. msd ignition, long tube heads, y-pipe- eliminate cat/ flowmaster mufflers.. uhm.. trick flow aluminum heads.. new cap, coil, plugs an wires.. plus a set of drag slicks.. :) that should get ya rolling.. Basically it's most of the bolt ons that do not require to much time to install heh :lol:
