doest really matter, put one on, and sell the other one. They are all about the same.

Yeah, buy the cheapest one (read: not TPIS). I think SLP has one for around $30.

i got my SLP one when it was on sale for 25 something. i just drove down there and picked it up. Its a nice part. SLP and TPIS are overpriced on most of there stuff. Just for that little part, it shouldnt be more then 35.

If I remember correctly, the TPIS bolts in, where the Holley hangs there with a clip? Use the one that bolts in. If they both bolt in, then use whatever.

As you can see, the TPIS bolts in, whereas the Holley clips in. I would use the TPIS for the above reason. You dont want the Holley getting knocked out of place.

I can't imagine either one making any sort of difference at all, let alone one being better than the other. Has anybody really seen any measurable gains from these things?

I know there are some pretty outrageous advertisements about them.

i bought the holley air foil... just installed it today. yeah, i doubt they'd be a difference of performance between the two. I like the fact that if i did change fuel injection system to my car i'd be able to sell the holley w/ out a gasket.
