SLP siameased runners any good?

I was looking at a pair for my 91 z28 305 tpi and i want to if anyone has an opinion on them. They look good and I want to know if they add any noticable horsepower. If you have any suggestions for other runners if these suck, that would be goo to. Thanks.

I love them, if you port match your intake system to match them. These are really made to work with a little higher RPM cam. thats the whole Idea behind them is to make a flatter torque curve.
I cant say much as far as comparing them to stock because I replaced them, and the cam all at one time ply put in new springs and suck, following with porting everything to match. Worked out real nice for me. I would buy them again.
The long tube runners just flow more air, but are designed for the same RPM range. The tuning is more important that just net flow numbers.

On a 305, I wouldn't bother. That money could be spent on a better cam, a torque converter, headers, or something more beneficial. I've got my 305 into the 13s with the stock runners and ported plenum, so I really don't think new ones are necessary.

amen brutha,
If they're cheap say less than $150 complete(bolts/etc.) might be worth it to help a new cam out a little. But 305s and 350s will make it to the 13s without any intake mods. I'll be there soon, that cam can't sit in my closet forever, neither can that base waiting to be ported/saimesed.
