I'm buying one of these AS SOON as the production model hits the streets. Some of the tuners are trying to pawn off their prototypes but C&L is recommending to wait on the final production. I haven't purchased delete plates for the sole purpose of using this manifold. I was going to do delete plates and portmatch the stock plastic manifold back when I installed the cams and first heard about the C&L. I've been waiting on it ever since.

With this manifold, my cams (or some blower cams, which I'm open to) and a basic vortech kit I figure I can run pretty low boost and have close to 500whp. I've been saving my pennies waiting for the production model of this intake before laying my final plans.

If my blower/turbo combo doesn't work out I was going to try the C&L intake out.

I had been saving for delete plates, but I think I'm just going to keep saving and get the C&L Intake. As far as I am concerned if you don't have the delete plates I think this is a great deal, it's more horsepower and looks way nicer under the hood than our plastic intake. But then again I don't have one of those covers lots of guys are running.

If I didn't already have the delete plates, I probably would have gotten this as well. Just to have something a little different.

I didn't read the article but I thought people were saying they got the best gains by having it installed with delete plates?

The C&L intake manifold has delete plates built into it.
