PI intake swap= DONE!!!
man, this ended up being a pain in the A$$!!!! the first pic is obviously just comparing the 2 intakes. The second pic is a rigged up coolant tube because the nipple on the waterpump is TOO BIG!! i had the pi intake tube, but it just simply wouldnt work with the stock water pump nipple

RE: PI intake swap= DONE!!!
I have more pics to come, didnt feel like resizing them again........anyways, i used the pro products itnake/tb/plenum combo, and just so yall know, the stb WILL NOT FIT with this setup. the hood barely closed as it was. I had to hack-up my stb, bend it, pound it, and add to it just so it would fit. very very ugly, but i felt i had to have it to be safe in a vert. also, had to tap-n-dye a hole for the second coolant sensor, not too big of a deal. ill post up more pics a little later, if any questions about the process, just ask. i know this is kinda vague, but ill elaborate more......
btw, the car runs great. i babied it a little bit at first, but then gave it pure hell last night. thats one way to test that rtv

RE: PI intake swap= DONE!!!
not sure how much the manifold by itself cost, the whole manifold/tb/plenum cost $600 plus 50 for gaskets and then shipping, $703 shipped.......you can feel a gain, but not $700 worth. If i had it to do over again, id just go with the plastic/alum crossover manifold w/ plenum and tb and saved the rest for gear install, which ill get much more improvement from.......still worth it to go pi though!!
