RE: Intake manifold and heads
yeah but do u wont FI on a completely stock motor???? or do u want h/c/i THEN fi? seems like this comes up way too much. but for the average joe blow who wants a mean steet beater, do H/C/I FIRST. then drive it a while, save up. and then swap to a low boost blower.

wouldn't he still be limited to the 400 rwhp or would he be able to run more horsepower? i only ask because his bottom end would still be stock and i was under the impression that the bottom end can only handle 400rwhp

RE: Intake manifold and heads
hey oxford -
how's the difference in power with the trickflow manifold? not necissarily hp/tq numbers...but can you tell if it pulls more up top?
also which setup did you get? the75mm single TB or the dual 'cobra' TB setup? Was considering getting a stronger intake once i get the heads/cams done, that can handle a larger giggle gas shot than the stock POS plastic peice....

RE: Intake manifold and heads
I think im going to do the FI first with low boost. Then when the time is right i can get the low end built and then build the heads for low compression somewhere around 8.5:1. But a 2V running 6-8 lbs of boost is still respectable on the street. Also Im set on a Kenne Belle, doesnt that replace the stock intake manifold anyway?
i hope u have like 5k to spend on it tho.

yes KB is the way to go. very well put together systems. the shop i take my car to doesnt use anything other than KB. if u ask what supercharger u should do, their first answer is KB. only if u dont have the money to do aKB to will they recomend a centrifugal.
