These flow about the same exact #'s from what I've read. I just bought both of these and can not decide on which one to keep now. I have too many parts and my wifey says I need to start ebaying soon.
Should I put on the Vortech b/c they are so rare or keep on the Systemax??

I've seen both in person and I highly doubt that the saleen flows as much as the holley simply due to port size. I know the saleen has smaller ports than the holley.

in that case, systemax > saleen just as function > form!

I'd polish up that saleen/ vortech and put that on the car JR. Simply, because you don't see many of those and it will add to the bad a** look of your engine bay.

Just my opinion.

yeah i'd have to lean on the side of the saleen/vortech for the rarity of it.

i'm kind of suprised at you Paul, here with your rare hardtop and saleen taillight bezels i figured you err on the side of rarity. besides JR, i'm sure your making enough with your turbo setup that the port sizes will hardly make a dent.

I usually do, but my thought process was as the other Paul said above, function over form. But now that I think about JR and his car, the saleen would definitely be the choice I could see fitting that car's persona better, he just might have to crank that wastegate a bit and add a few more lbs to make up for its power shortcomings versus the holley.

JR, I'll be running a holley on my car this year.

Polish the Saleen... plus the Holley is looking kinda beat, couple digs in there, which for a schlepper like me wouldn't matter but for a car like yours, I'm positive will drive you crazy.

I would mill the Holley down flat and have it polished (looks better, and performs better...a WIN WIN)

Sell the Saleen people will pay a stupid amount for it.

Thanks for all the replies and opinions. This Vortech is going on ebay.
I really like the Holley a lot better and when you guys making tons of power give it the thumbs up then it stays on.
