SS HPX

Isn't there more than one sponsor that makes the SS HPX line ? I saw Ratliff's but thought there was another one ?
Thanks

Is the KCM easier to install than Clays? I have been holding off buying clay's because I was told it was tough to install. It is $13 more and a little different design.

I bought Clay's S.S. HPX, and literally, took me 10 minutes to install. No need to remove spider, hoses, electrical..etc, nuth'n...remove the 2-plugs, install fittings, then feed the hard line under spider, i fed line, from driver side.

Sounds like you were told wrong...

I've put them both on. Both work equally well.
I went with the Sinister Diesel model simply because I liked the idea of the tube going under the intake vs above it.
The trickiest part about both of them is the o-ring gasket on the flanges that go into the HPOP rail on the cylinder heads.
Have to be very careful that you don't accidentally tear the o-ring as it's compressing down into the head.
