I have SLP Blackwing
I had trouble fitting it into my car. But I actually gained 10 rwhp. It may just be a fluke. Most people were saying that their A6 vette has 330 rwhp, but my car seems to have around 340 rwhp on all 3 dyno runs. So I can't be too upset with SLP. If I were you I would look into close box system like Vararam or Callaway.

Early on they were having some problems fitting the air bridge, and some people were setting lean codes at idle both banks. Not everyone had these problems. I had a blackwing on my C5 and it worked well. In fact my son has the car and still has it on the car. On my C6 I went with the stinger from Halltech, why? I just liked the size of the filter and it fit well.

SLP used my '06 C6 as soon as they got feedback(Dec. '05) that some people were setting codes. The problem turned out to be with the air bridge and people forcing it onto the pins to far. It would cause a slight leak. The propblem was taken care of right away. Even though they say a 5 to 8 hp gain is to be expected I picked up a high of 11.5 at 5189 RPM(120 miles on the car). I have been dealing with Ed Hamberger and SLP since the early 70's and have found them to be one of the best A/M vendors out there. By the way, of the people that actually contacted SLP after codes were set, the majority had the packages installed at 2 shops! I have not had any codes to date. I also am surprised that more people aren't aware of, or using some of SLP's Vette products. Their exhaust and engine packages are some of the best around, their removable front plate brkt, though expensive, is great. There are a couple of people on this forum that after seeing my front plate set up, drove right over to SLP and bought one.

TommyD you are correct. When I first met Ed he was selling Mopar hipo parts. We were running a DANA rear that had been converted to be the center section in our Vette Super Stocker, and he was who we got our rear end parts from. Then came Hamberger Oil Pans and SLP. I think most of us are aware of the Firehawk program and then becoming a GM Tier 1 vendor with the Camaro SS and Firehawk and a S10 program. With the death of the F body things had to change. They have a rather extensive line of new Mustang parts along with just finishing a F150 package(no Lightning anymore). Work has recently started on a Hemi Dodge Charger.
