RE: PI Intake
Yeah, you can do it. It's a pretty easy intsall. It took me 3hrs the first time I take off the manifold, then I got really fast at it the second time around. All you need is some PI gaskets and a new coolant tube and you can bolt it on. Oh yeah and there are adapters plates if you want to go that route.....I hear they work well, but it will cost you more $$

RE: PI Intake
DOnt even do it unless you change your heads to. Its not like its gonna help much. I think Devinsteen said he gained like 14 HP outta it. Might as well save up the 800 for the heads and add 50 HP. What your going to do is like puttin perfume on a pig

RE: PI Intake
all the same... the plastic intake manifold makes me awfully nervous - particularly running the nitrous... the adaptor plate makes for an easier install, but isn't really necessary? can anybody go into more detail for me?

RE: PI Intake
The LS1s all have plastic manifolds and they operate very smoothly on a 150 shot. Same with the Mustangs... just dont go over a 125 shot and you are safe... as long as you are properly tuned and timing is yanked.

The intake is worth doing if you don't want to do the heads right now....that costs a lot more money. THe intake is cheap and esay to install and adds around 15 rwhp......I'd say that's worth it.

Yea Andy, doing PI heads is a whole different story. I am also thinking about going a PI intake. 15 hp is a lot, how can you downplay that? Its going to cost over 1000 if you can't install the heads youself, which not everyone can do. I am going with just a PI intake because my motor has 116K on it, and I don't wanna mess with it too much because it may go soon. So I figure a PI intake will give me enough power to satisfy me. But I'm not sure yet, maybe heads will come too, I never know til it happens
