id go with the runners, reason being, the stock runners dont breathe enough air as it is. i bet you would see a nice torque increase with 1.6 rockers, especially down low, but whats all that valve lift going to do if the runners only breathe so much?

Port and match the slp runners with the plenum while you are at it.

Port and match the slp runners with the plenum while you are at it. Or better yet wait until you have the runners and 1.6 and install them together.

How am I supposed to port the plenum and runners perfectly so that they do match up?

I dont have any kind of tool that would allow me to be that precise........
