Don't need another 15lbs on my front end unless I'm making 500+whp and that won't be happening with the stock shortblock. I'm saving for my supercharger sirknight...why are you waving this $800 candy in front of my face???? lol

I won't comment. C&L was the only company with enough balls to release an S197 aftermarket intake for <$1500. I respect them for doing that.

Buuuutttt, there are many cars producing 700+whp with the stock intake.

Maybe so, but they're doing it at "low" RPMs I believe. An intake like this, or the FRPP one, will allow 7K+ thus even more powah!

You know you want it...buy it, buy it, BUUUUYY IIIITTTT!

Well since the intake port matches it self to the heads (like the steeda race delete plates) and no longer uses the delete plates its only more like $500 right?

exactly...so you save on the 5whp that plates give you and another 5whp the intake gives you...and don't forget all these gains are over 5k rpm lol.

I badly want to build a 400+whp 7k+ rpm car but my car pulled to 7k rpm just fine with the stock intake and FRPP hotrod cams. The intake is a non-factor to me at this point within the confines of a 450whp, 5-7k rpm roadmap.

The stock intake is not limiting high-rpm hp, the camshafts, valvesprings, and heads are. Mainly camshafts and valvespring float over 6.5k. The 3V is only limited at 7k+ rpm by the weak valvesprings and cam powerband, not the intake.

The plan is on Thanksgiving Day. The cams came in yesterday though.

I should probably go ahead and get my tunes updated while I have plenty of time to account for delays.
