From what i heard they dont really benifit you unless you have FI, like for bang for buck, cause i think its like 800 bucks and then you might pick up... maybe 20 hp idk really but i luv how it looks

[GTsetGO]

was thinking of getting that or the new edelbrock manifold when i get around to doing me heads and headers

[Blackblurr_00GT]

hey could someone put up some pics of both plz.

[00SlvrStang]

what are your mods? you won't really need one until you get full bolt ons, heads and cams. you can do it before that but you won't see the gains you would see with the other stuff as well.

you dont even need a manifold unless running really big cams and heads that have been opened up. the factory piece is a very well designed intake. unless your building a high winding strip car, just leave your plastic intake on your car. or if your spraying more than a 150 shot. but people need to realise that theres a reason the aftermarket on these intakes hasnt been real good.......... its becasue the factory piece is plenty good enough and only becomes a restriction once boosted past 600 rwhp. and your gonna lose more down low than youll gain up top. i dont know about you guys but i like driving down low sometimes in the rpm band.

AGAIN, THERE IS NO GOOD REASON FOR YOU TO SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY ON AN INTAKE THAT WONT REALLY BENEFIT YOU, UNLESS YOUR BUYING IT FOR LOOKS.

And those are the ppl who wonder wtf their car is slower than before, because they throw shit on their car that doesnt match up with their set up.

true story. my buddy put a THR intake on his car and lost 2/10ths and about 10 hp. hes got heads and cams also. i think like dragn said the stock one is designed very well and changing it out is a waste of money unless you are building a high reving race car

[Timm10221]

yup thats why i am spending the money on a S/C kit that comes with everything and be done with it, except the TB and plenum, i cant wait to buy a novi 2000

[TyCouey2000GT]

That was a good thread l0l, I hate those people who are like, I raced an ls1 with ALL of my bolt ons, but he bleww me out the water?!?!?!?!? Those are the guys who have tooo much money.

But i'm about to order a package from RPMoutlet.com It comes with a 70mm PP polished t/b and plenum, and motoblue pullies for 400 w/ shipping. i thought it was a good deal, how bout you'all? That should get me a few more back to the wheels on my 00 gt.

[Eagle2000GT]

Buy from RPMoutlet at your own risk. A lot of people, including myself, have had problems.

[GTsetGO]

i have the heard the problems about rpmoutlet, but I have ordered numerous times from them and never had a problem.

+1

Amp ordered some of his parts from RPM and had nothing but problems, They don't ship when they say they do, and they ship the wrong parts.

[sonicblue]

i have ordered from them a few times, but i dont know if i would again cause of the horror stories i have heard. guess i got lucky with them. depending on your other mods i would spend themoney on something other than pulleys and throttlebody

[neckbonekat]

If you're looking for a stock intake manifold that will gain you some HP and a good amount of torque, here you go. That's a pretty sweet price since they are usually over $1000.

[superbeef1000]

good luck with rpm outlet i had problems with them
