AS&M runners attention Traxion or any with experience

Are the insanely high priced semi siamesed large tube runners worth it? I mean will i honestly be able to justify the amount these runners cost? Traxion, a little mouse told me you had these before you switched over to miniram.

I have had them for about a year. Can I say it improved my car? Well going stock to the edelbrock base and asm runners i picked up a .10th. I wished I would have bought something else.

i'm not sure, I picked up some TF heads and a nice cam and will be putting them in soon. I hope that the runners will perform. The ASM runners are already extrude honed and they are a very nice piece. i also got better gas milage. they coulndt hurt.

A nicely ported Edelbrock base, AS&M Runners, Ported Plenum and the stock TB should be good. Heck the new 502 Ram Jet uses the 48mm TB. Nice set of header and a Cat Back would be good. Lots of people go for the flowmaster or the hooker but I went with the Edelbrock Catback and I Love it. The Pipes are AL And the muffler is Stainless steel and the whole system comes with a lifetime warrenty. A homemade Cold Air System would be good. I performed it on my Formula and that had to be one of the best mods. I have left my chip stock because when I tried the stage 2 Fast Chip from ed write it was horrible. Stay with a 180 or 195 T-Stat I have found from going from a 160 to a 180 there was a big differance in power for me at least.
