Get the SLP's summit sells them for 279 dollars. TPIS sells their runners for 450 dollars. To be honest these parts arent worth 10 hp but i guess every little bit helps.

Best runners possible, in the stock LTR set up, IMO is the AS&M runners. The regular LTR ones flow like gangbusters, but are wasted on a stock manifold. The Semi-si's are even better. Personally, I think if you use the SLP's you should make tham fully si'd and then mod the plenum and base to take advantage of the different design.

To be fully honest, stock runners probably work no worse than aftermarket ones if you still have stock heads/intake/cam. Unless you change something else first (especially intake), changing the runners is a waste of time. Just save for an intake, then get the runners.
