check out Arizona speed and marine's semi siameesed (sp?) large tube runner. Most have come to the conclusion that they have the best runner on the market.

The AS&M seem like to be the best set of runners out on the market if you can afford them. They seem to have the largest gains over all other runners. Another good set of runners are the TPIS Siamesed runners. They also cost a pretty penny. The SLP Siamesed runners probably run a close third but seem to run much better when they are slightly ported.

The TPIS and AS&M runners are the same thing!!! AS&M makes them for TPIS and then TPIS puts their name on it.

AS&M, TPIS, and Accel are all good for stock and modified TPI. SLP runners work better with aftermarket heads and cam.

91Z, why would SLP runners work better with a modded engine than AS&M's and others??

Plus you could fully siamese the slp's because they are cast. Extruded runners can't be worked.
