Superram/ Miniram/ or port match intake,runners, plenum?

Alright I need opinions/advice. Got a L98 w/ 3.73
gears, an edelbrock dual timing chain,D-1SC procharger@ 8lbs of boost,30#injectors,a 3core intercooler, TCI-breakaway converter, B&M flexplate, Trans-go shiftkit. Now I was wondering if it would be best to get a superram, miniram, or get some slp runners and port the crap out of em along with my intake and plenum? Money is an issue, so if you could be blunt i'd appreciate it. What kind of power gains are we talking here? Thanks

If it helps 343RWHP/375RWTQ @ 5000+ft.

This is a dangerous question to ask. There are many, many arguments over which one is better. Here's a quick pointer.

StealthRam, LT1 intake are not emmissions legal. The both flow much better than TPI in the upper RPM range.

SuperRam is in the middle, good torque and carried till almost 6k rpm.

LTR are a lot of torque, but not much at the high end.

Mini-Ram I don't think is emmissions legal, but it might be. Overpriced LT1, unless it is emmissions legal.

Go look at the price for all of them. Decide on where you want your power, daily driver weekend racer, drag track, or circle track racing. Then let everyone else know what you want/have, then you will find out. It all depends on what the rest of the engine is made to do.

The Super Ram is the only one other than stock TPI that allows you to retain the EGR. Mini Ram, LTI or Stealth Rams do not.
