I had a Spal(straight blade) on my SPF--as some say it sounded like a Jet ready to take off---though you couldn't here it when the engine was on--but if you flipped the switch--loud. They are supposed to be the best on the market.
I just installed a new 16" Hayden curved blade today on my FIA--it's not as noisy as the Spal--and it has a slightly lower CFM rating, but for a small block, 289 hi-po, it should be ok.
I think the prices are close with the Spal costing just a bit more.
FWIW--though I think the curved blade style is more $.
