If you're NA it's a high RPM intake. Dont expect to gain anything unless you're revving to and past 7K.

Expect a huge loss in low to mid-range and a slight gain way up top. See below..........

It seems for N/A the intake is in the same boat as their heads. They require you to run a lot higher rpm in order to shine. Most guys do not have the supporting mods required to make power up that high.

I have run it FI and N/A and had no problems with it. I consistently put up higher numbers than the my tuners expected from a 8-10psi blower, but unfortunately I did not do before and after dyno. Since selling the blower, I have also sold the intake, cause unless you are spinning above 7000rpm, it can actually hurt your performance at the track when running it N/A without heavily ported heads, very aggressive cams, and shifting around 7k.

I'm surprised this managed to slip all of our heads so far, but we really need to know more about the car to give you a good answer.
