Deal. And you go buy $700 worth of engine mods(installed) and see who gains more HP and a hell of a prettier engine bay. Ready? GO

Tell yah what. I'll take a stock GT and $700 bucks and you take a stock GT and that fancy intake manifold/tb/plenum thing-a-ma-jig.

There my friend is where a forged stroker kit, heads and cams come in quite handy.
So what does it say about 6000 rpm? 5500? Just think of it like this. A TB/Plenum combo runs what ? 375-400? And the intake+combo is 700? Worth it all day long. 300 for an intake thats not plastic is worth it. Hp gain or NOT!!!!!!!

"This manifold has been chassis dyno proven to produce 21.5 more rear wheel hp than a stock manifold at 6,500 rpm. More torque from 4,000 rpm on up."--Blue Oval Industries
I don't think those numbers are worth the money. I suppose if you were running 6500 rpm's all day long it might be worth it.

Installed? Why, Is the guy going to sell the intake with free installation? I'll take my $700 and buy a CAI and LT's, on a stock GT and you have a race.

Intake install is like 3rd grade material there bro. ITs bolts, gaskets, etc.... LT's on the other hand are not (expensive install). So lets say with the install money of the LT's you could get the intake P&P, fair enough? So ill give you the benefit of the doubt and we can go LT's AND CAI(worthless w/o other intake mods)vs. Intake, TB and plenum(which could easily be installed in 2hours in a garage with basic tools) and YOU have a race.

You are missing the point my friend. That intake manifold only makes power over the factory intake well above the rpm range of a stock GT short block. The point that I am trying to make is $700 spent on a performance upgrade that only adds power past the factory short blocks capabilities is not worth the money. Perhaps on a built modular that is F/I and can run in that rpm range , the $700 might be worth it it performance wise.
By the way "bro", if you can't install headers on a car, put the wrench down and walk away.

RE: Anyone used the TYPHOON INTAKE?
Earlier you said it produces 21.5 rwhp over stock at 6500RPM. Does it produce NOTHING at 5500? Thats almost impossible. I havnt seen the write-up.
I wasnt saying the Header install was impossible.I'd love to try it. But it is alot harder than intake stuff. But anyhoo, I like the intake stuff and you dont thats cool man. We got a little sidetracked.
YEAH BUY the intake and put it on a dyno before and after so we can see whats up!
And yea we can all get along. He's got a good point.

I'd be curious to see dyno results of it as well. Like ZW99GT said, it would look good.

RE: Anyone used the TYPHOON INTAKE?
as previously stated its far better than the plastic pos. i dont think anyone on here would turn it down would they, i know i wouldnt................ im sure there is still some gain on a stock motor.

I didn't say that bro, the seller of the intake did.

I personally would only look into upgrading my intake manifold on a 2V if I were going to forced induction and I had a forged lower end to support high rpms. It's not like the old days where swapping out the constrictive factory intake manifold would net you gains in the lower rpm range. Today's cars roll off the factory with manifolds that our Grand Dad's dreamt of. Yes the intake manifold on a stock GT is plastic. But it flows just fine for a streetable car at any HP level.
You guys need to just stop arguing and go to sleep.
