Wich will work better with SLPs headers, or dose it matter?

Go pick up a Sept. 2000 copy of GM High Tech Performance. Nice article on heads in there. General consensus is angle plugs provide better plug location and most of the good heads flowtested in the article are angle plugs.
As for SLP headers... no problem with 90 degree set of plug wires. In fact it's probably easier changing plugs on most of them to change by just using a wrench from above than the socket from below.
