Install university did a write up on the Fast Toys Ram Air kit. The Fast Toys looks identical to the SLP one.

"A 0.9 percent increase doesn’t sound that great. A typical LS1 with ported heads, cam, headers, etc., will gain a seven percent increase in VE (100 horsepower). This is very important to note. Assuming that the VE is directly related to the amount of horsepower added (on a natural aspirated LS1), a 1% increase results in a 10 – 15 horsepower gain (see Equation 1)."
"Final thought
A one percent increase in volumetric efficiency does not seem significant when talking about serious power adders (ported heads, cam, turbos, etc.). Remember that this is a basic bolt-on and one percent is very respectable and represents a 10 - 15 horsepower gain with this system at the track or on the street. The kit is well built and relatively easy to install. You have to be sure to seal the kit extremely well to gain the most you can from it. When compared to other parts that claim the same gains for more money, the FTRA system looks better all the time because it backs up its claim for a fair price. I would not hesitate recommending this modification to any LS1 F-Body owner. Like I mentioned earlier, Dionne’s test results persuaded me to purchase the kit for my 1999 Z28. :-)"
