They are the same price but the TPIS looks more durable and the Holley looks like it will make smoother air flow...Which one>???

87,

You might as well spend as little as possible. My hand-hewn aluminum model makes zero net repeatable power gain.

I used the Holley precisely because it is plastic...I figured the less hot aluminum to transfer heat to the incoming air the better. By itself I don't know that they are worth that much ET, but along with porting the plenum, improving flow in the airbox, etc. every little bit will add up.
