Yea I really don't think I'd bother with upgrading those macs.
I'd leave the macs and put that money towards a good dyno tune.
But my SLPs seem to be doing well. I picked up 2mph in the 1/8 with only the headers.

i got as&m for the quality not so much for the looks but they still look fine.the sound is baddass and the plug and wire routing blows,haha,nah the only wire i burnt that i know of(started another miss but dunno if its a wire)is #8 cuz my accel wire wasnt long enough and sat on the header.

With good flowing heads on a N/A setup any 1 5/8's shorty header will be restrictive, the headers have to come off anyway for the new heads so I might as well put in some better flowing headers. Why risk that extra 5 to 10hp gain? I've also heard that MAC's are only good up to 350hp.
This leads me a to a different subject, MAC's for sale.

The suspension is completely stock (original), also.
You're cutting the MACs a little short.

well since they are both very comparable to each other, then why not get what have the best price available to you.
myself i have as&m and find it easier to change plugs on my friends car that has long tubes. not only that but easier access to the y-pipe and o2 and so on.

Nice numbers. I'm not cutting the mac's short but you have to admit even you would see some gains by to SLP's or AS&M's.
