Any cold air/ram air system will net you around the same horsepower gain (8-10rwhp depending on setup). I went with the Fast Toys Ram Air (FTRA), it cost about $200 after all was said and done. WORTH IT!!!

The general rule with SLP is that while their products are good, they tend to be overpriced because you're paying for the SLP name. Dont be afraid to look around some. SLP, FTRA, SSRA, BBK, K&N FIPK are all going to do the same thing for your car. It seems like you've finished your intake mods, except for the Ram Air system, so you might as well. Try looking for some headers maybe, if you dont mind failing California SMOG..

that is true for SLP... I find IMO that ls1speed has decent prices, as they try to compete for that.

also, SLP is GREAT for OEM parts durn GM wanted 130$ for a stock shift ****....SLP's was i think 40$

have one, one mod I would buy again, as far as 1/8 time, get some 1/4 times that way you can really see, as far as worth, claiming a hp number on this is stupid, because it really does nothing till you moving, about 60, then the cold air starts working. Every mod builds on the other so if you do everything on the intake side, and are stuffing a ton of air into the motor, it does nothing if it can not get out, so intake first, the work on the exhaust side and then you'll see some worthwhile gains.
