How about this setup:

Trick flow: (TFS-K51824070) 269.95

PI Intake: (M-9424-P46) 194.99

Total:
464.94

I guess here is my How to:

What do you guys think of this setup?

So... What about the above setup?

What a lot of members run on here. They might have different brands of tb/plenums but they essentially do the same thing.

to take real advantage of what you are doing you would factor in a dyno tune. and that a coupple hundered depending on the shops around you.

but if this isn't going to be a modded car, go with OEM intake and keep the stock TB, i dont think it would be worth it.

i have a 75mm tb and plenum but its my DD and it is the car i am moding. i dont have a project car.

I ordered the new PI Intake from American Muscle. Now i need the following little parts to complete my intake installation:

2 x PI Intake Manifold Gaskets
1 x PI Heater Hose, XR3Z 18B402 AA
1 x PI Water Pump Nipple, F752 8555 AA
1 x Water Pump O-Ring
16 x Fuel injector O-Rings
1 x 180* Thermostat
1 x Thermostat O-ring

Does anyone know of any good place to get these? I only have 56k miles, but i need to replace all of these? (ie: PI Heater Hose, XR3Z 18B402 AA)

Thanks
