Super ram/mini-ram/or port match intake,plenum,runners?

Alright I need opinions/advice. Got a L98 w/ 3.73
gears, an edelbrock dual timing chain,D-1SC procharger @ 8lbs,30#injectors,a 3core intercooler, TCI-breakaway converter, B&M flexplate, Trans-go shiftkit. Now I was wondering if it would be best to get a superram, miniram, or get some slp runners and port the crap out of em along with my intake and plenum? Money is an issue, so if you could be blunt i'd appreciate it. What kind of power gains are we talking here? Thanks

If it helps 343RWHP/375RWTQ @ 5000+ ft.

I did some fancy footwork when I needed parts to replace my Superram kit. I got a "reman" unit for a song. You will have to contact Accel and they will probably transfer you to the DFI division. The remans are units that are cleaned up after someone tried them out and returned them to say Summit or Jegs and are in good condition. I placed the stock runner gaskets next to the ports on the intake manifold (unported) and found a huge difference. If I were to port them, it would be even larger.

I'd go Superram. Some might go Miniram. That depends on what you are trying to achieve. Superram on NA engines is better for down low and Miniram is better for up there. Personally, I'd go with the Superram. I drove a buddy's car with a Miniram and was not as impressed as when I drove another's with the Superram. Better throttle response too.
