Default Which pipe is better-puffer or standard?

Jsut finished looking at the BVM site at pipes. Is there a major difference between these two pipes? Seems like the puffer would be better or is it?
On that note, could you take a normal pipe and make it into a puffer? Seems like it could be done easy enough 'eh?
Thanks!

The puffer has a "pitot" pickup on the end of it and is otherwise the same as a std pressure pipe. You could more easily convert a puffer pipe by adding a pressure tap.

I always preferred the standard pressure 'cause you get more mixture range from the inflight needle adjustment. Its does have limitations on when you can pull the throttle though. Are you familiar with them? No time to explain right now.

Default Pressure pipe

I have a dynamax unit that has a pressure fitting on the shroud. Will this setup work satisfactory. I am running a OS 91 in a X-terminator sport jet.
