I was leaning towards the MAM Sleeper kit witch seems better due to Jet-Hot coating and MPI Tuner. The ES kit relys on a Vortech FMU (bad, no?).
 
mam or hiboost all the way, from what i have heard ES never ships anything out, do a search on them you'll see
 
240whp @ 12psi doesn't sound that good. I made 228whp @ 8psi with the MPI one. Go with MAM, it comes with the MPI and will let you control fuel and timing the right way. Better customer support also, there will be more people with that one then the ES kit.
