Maybe look into a custom cam, just a thought. I'd go with a 70mm TB, either of those maf's would be good too.

So only one person is gonna voice an opinion and, three people vote. Boy you guys sure are being supportive here toady.
Really though to me it seems like a good setup for daily driver. I was just wanting some input from some of you guys on your thoughts about it.

sounds like a really nice setup.. i would also say get a 70mm tb.. and also.. maybe 30-36lb\hr injectors too just to be on the safe side.

Default RE: Do you think this is a good setup

You arent going to need anything bigger than 24lb injectors with that setup. 24's are good until approx. 400hp. You should have it tuned and find out what your duty cycle is and than go from there with the injectors. Also, it sounds like a good setup for the street, agressive but not too agressive. I would also stick with the 65mm throttle body and a custom grind would be a waste of money for you unless you never plan on changing your setup or upgrading anything. What you are running is a very common setup and there are tons of cams out there for you too choose from without going custom. Try calling Comp and see what they recommend, they have tons of off the shelf cam's that would work really well.

Also, you said the current manifold that you are running now? What manifold is that? A street heat would work great.

The current intake setup. Stock lower that will of course get ported to match heads and the Comp cams Polymer. Just keep the fuel from puddleing when spraying the n2o. Its a wet kit.
