SLP/Edelbrock TPI Runners Worth The $$$?
Are these runners really worth the money? Do they make the TPI flow any better over the stock runners. I've got a stock L98 and I'm thinking about swapping out the intake. I'm just trying to get some opinions. I've got another L98 sitting in my garage that I eventually plan on building up, so I'd like to buy something that I can throw on the motor in the car that will still be able to handle the built motor when the time comes. I don't want to throw the stock TPI on a built up motor.

nope, better off learning how to pocket port, gives you knowledge/experience of porting and a fat wallet

Aftermarket runners are only worth the money if you port them. Out of the box, they flow barely anymore than stock. Power can be made with TPI, it just takes a bit more to get there. And it's by far the best looking intake I've ever seen on a car, imo.
