They are all good
Prefer the SLPs Mid America motor works has them for 329/pr
Plan on spending a few hun more to make them move some air
Then the base, plenum etc.

Bettr off saving for a FIRST system unported it blows them all out of the water for under a grand complete with throttle body.

Do you know what gaskets to use if you port the SLP's??

Personally I like the ones that are about 6.5" long attached to a centrally located plenum....

If your gonna spend $$$ to modify the car at least buy something that'll make it worthwhile....

No runners. I prefer a Miniram. Easy install. More power.

Mini Ram isn't worth it unless you replace the cam and heads at least........

I've posted the answer to this very recently. I've also provided the link to the best gasket set for 1.75" ported runners. (more than once). It's a MR. Gasket set as sold my summit.
