Default And so it begins 87 gt

I have a stock 87gt. And I now have the time and money to start to put into my car. So one of the first starting point I thought I jump into was the intake manifold. I been looking for some time now and as it seems the best intake manifolds for my car is the- BBK SSI intake Manifold with 70mm Throttle Body and Fuel RailsTB for around $750- So what in asking is does anyone have this on their car? And what do you all think? Is this a good starting place?

Id save up some more money and get a kit like the Trickflow setup or Holley Systemax (check Summit for info) and youll have heads, a cam, an intake and more parts for the swap all at once.

I really wish I went that route with my car. I pieced together my h/c/i setup and ended up spending more money than one of the kits and I didnt even buy an intake. (already had an intake when I bought it)

Putting an intake on a stock motor isnt going to have all that great of a benefit.

IMO I don't like that intake...

If you are going to use stock heads I would choose the Trick Flow "Street Heat." The "Track Heat" is awesome but pointless with stock heads.

Do it all at once and you wont have to take stuff apart twice. Wait a while until you get more money ifmoney isan issue. You wont regret it.

Ive only heard about people not liking the BBK SSI intake. Ive never heard of anybody saying how great it is.
