The HP gain is minimal? How much did you spend on getting your manifold honed? All that for BARELY ANY horsepower? An intake is by far the best bang for the buck when it comes to power.

I just think you wasted your money on something that could have been better spent elsewhere. You may "feel" mopre power, but stick that bitch on a dyno and we'll see how much you really got.

By the way, my loom is red!

My uncle owns a machine shop, so it didnt cost me anything. I traded him out for some powder coating. I guess if the whole 2-4 average HP you gained is YOUR best bang for the buck, thats just real good for you. I still have alot of stuff I want to do. I have NX,Extruded Manifold,port matched head,K&N,Random hi flow cat,Dynomax Muffler,2"piping,Jet controll module,Differential,ETC...Ive opened my engine up and started doing some real mods while youre still playing with Phucking wire loom and niffty light up guages. If I need to be schooled Id rather some one with some real knowledge and experience do so. Until then I think Auto zone has some real neato stick on hood pins you may like........Duncan

Right... Well, I had alot written, but I decided to respond with something else... I'm not going to argue this any further. Do what you want with your car, and I'll do what I want with mine. Bashing me is just childish though. If you have facts to back up what you're saying, by all means do it like you did, but trying to cut me down is just far too juvenile for my liking.

the ONLY thing i would like to say is this..

Why would you want so MUCH FLOW in to combustion chamber, but NO flow OUT...

NO ARGUING.. it is VERY juvenile and childish..

FACTS are FACTS...

The more Air flow in = MORE air flow OUT.... Otherwise, you're wasting your money trying to do anything.. Upgrade your from exhaust out fool..
