They all give about the same hp gains, with QTP or Kooks you're paying for the stainless steel material

If you don't want Kooks/QTP's, there's no reason NOT to get the Pacesetters.

I'm going to be buying the dynatech supermaxx system pretty soon.

Never heard any complaints about them.

Any longtube will provide impressive gains, however I think the Edelbrock LT's are a step above the Pacesetter LT's in quality and performance. I don't believe the difference would be huge but there would be a difference.

I have these installed and no problems, sound great with the high flow cats or with a straight through pipe instead of cats. Does feel like a power increase, no dyno numbers, the car seems to breath different at higher RPM's, so I would recommend a wideband and tune the car after install. I cant say if the Supermaxx is better to any other system as never driven any other LS1.

For best performance, get anything but SLP. Flowtech, Pacesetter, BillyBobJoeMarkHenryFredJeb's Bar & Grill special... you're talking about differences measured in chihuahua-power and inch-ounces.
