If you're talking about a TPI 350 car, then yes, those parts will probably help, especially if you upgrade to a bigger cam someday. I doubt they will make any difference on a 305 car; if anything, they'll hurt performance. My buddy Jay has a mostly-stock '92 TPI 305/5-speed Z28. He put a set of SLP runners on his car, and he really didn't see any improvement at the track; in fact, I think he lost a little bottom end torque because his short times were slower after installing the runners.
