i can buy a ported holley systemax intake upper and lower from a friend is it worth it?

jack90gt · March 9th, 2009, 11:13 PM

How much is he asking????

Mlx50man · March 9th, 2009, 11:18 PM

hes a good friend, so like 400, and it comes with a 1 inch spacer.

Iwannagofast · March 9th, 2009, 11:22 PM

go for it....if it was a good porting job then its better than stock....and stock is around 600 bucks aint it

jack90gt · March 9th, 2009, 11:26 PM

Hell yeah i would buy it.....

Mlx50man · March 9th, 2009, 11:26 PM

here it is, Ive heard good thing about them, just wanted to see what you guys think.

jack90gt · March 9th, 2009, 11:28 PM

Yeah def pick it up man...Good price on it...

nolife · March 9th, 2009, 11:37 PM

Be careful with the spacer. As far I as I know, Holley did not make a spacer for it themselves. I've read about the area around the bolt holes cracking with spacers but I'm sure that would apply to any intake with a spacer if not bolted down correctly. That sucks too because that intake hangs really low on the drivers side and any valve cover bigger than stock will have clearance issues.

Mlx50man · March 9th, 2009, 11:57 PM

ya its all brand new, and with that spacer there should be plenty of room for valve covers, as for the ports they match perfectly.

Iwannagofast · March 10th, 2009, 12:08 AM

hell i didnt even realize it was brand new....you would be stupid not to get it if you can afford it....which im assuming you can since you brought it up

Mlx50man · March 10th, 2009, 12:10 AM

ya i guess im picking it up tomorrow. I have a ported cobra intake on my car now, how will the holley compare?

jack90gt · March 10th, 2009, 12:11 AM

Alot better but the cobra is good upto like 350hp i think...

Mlx50man · March 10th, 2009, 12:22 AM

ok cool, thanks every1.

Iwannagofast · March 10th, 2009, 12:34 AM

now you can sell the cobra intake and get some money back

93mustank · March 10th, 2009, 01:25 AM

Whats the intake going on ?????? Whats the combo??

nolife · March 10th, 2009, 04:11 PM

i wouldn't expect miracles compared to the ported Cobra though unless you plan on or have a bunch of other stuff. The Systemax is a higher RPM intake, the higher the RPM you can still make decent power, the better the Holley will be. Maybe above 4500-5500 but as a trade off you will most likely be giving up some torque on the low end. Again, it depends on what other things you have.

Mlx50man · March 10th, 2009, 11:23 PM

it has a boss 302 block 347 stroker with vortec s-strim blower pushing 14 pounds, heads are afr 205cc.

jack90gt · March 10th, 2009, 11:27 PM
