SLP or Hooker

Ok, I've run into a problem, and to make a long story short, I have a set of SLP Headers 1 3/4 primaries and a set of Hooker 2055. The Hookers are from ACS so everthing including the Y-pipe is coated. Obviously, I can only use one set, what would be the better of the two? I like the fact the the Hookers are coated, but the 1 3/4 primaries on the SLP's are awfull tempting as well.

Here's what I have under the hood:

355 ci estimated 360 hp, Heads ported and polished, all cleaned, balanced, and blueprinted.
Holley 58mm TB
Ported and Polished TPI
SLP Runners
Edelbrock Hi-Flow Intake
Hypertech Cap, Coil, and Rotor
8.5 mm MSD wires
Holley Billet AFPR
24lb Injectors
No smog or AIR (AIR was removed on 2055, and ordered the SLPs without the AIR)

Hopefully that is enough to give you an idea of what I'm running. They both have great things about them, but I can only use one. What would you suggest?

Re: SLP or Hooker

Go with the Hookers. They are coated and your motor will make th emost of the smaller primaries. The 1 3/4" should be used if you make more power. You will be happy either way.

I would also say go with the Hookers. The general consensus is that the Hookers have the best design and will support high horspower.
