From what I have searched and read, the more HP your making, the more gains you are going to see from the intake.

The guy over at Corral wasn't blown and he picked up ~50rwhp at 6000rpm and was still pulling hard til 6000rpm unlike with the stock manifold. I believe he had a H/C combo with the intake.

Basically at least h/c would be needed for the upgrade to be worth it I am guessing. Or would just a blower and cams be enough to see a decent gain from it?

Sooooo this intake with bolt right up and will work with any throttle body plenum combo? I have a gift certificate from JEGS for Christmas and this sounds like a good idea. I have a BBK 78mm throttle body didnt know if I would need anything else. Do you need new fuel rails or anything extra?

No, it's not a direct replacement swap. 99+ will need Edlebrock fuel rails, Fittings, FPR and an adapter plate if reusing the stock style Plenum.

I think I was in it total for about $500 with my 96.

So basically call Edelbrock...because it sounds like I could pick up some HP from this setup. Why doesnt Edelbrock sell a kit for this instead of hunting down parts? Oh any hood fitment problems?

I really wish that this think gave you power with a stockish style car cus that would be a worthy upgrade if it did.

Well on a stock car you already have enough air volume there despite the design of the intake. Its has been said many times before CAI on a stock car does little to nothing, throttle body on a stock car does little to nothing, plenum on a stock car does little to nothing, etc. So why would an intake manifold be any different. The solution to your problem isnt the manifold itself, its the fact the your car is "stockish".
