Just swapping the intake will not really give u all that much hp and prob wouldnt even really feel a big diff untill u gethead Also get a cam. Just save and get it done all at once. I run a trikflow intake ()only) i like it but i wish i would have went withan box intake!! But i hear edlebrock makes the best intakes but that what ive heard only.

Yes, it will be less restrictive that a stock intake, but to really maximize your motors ability, you'll need:

-Heads/Cam/Intake Combo (Trickflow Street Heat)
-Larger MAF (C&L 76mm)
-Larger TB/EGR Plate (70mm)
-If your exhaust is stock you'll need to set it up for 2 1/2" free flowing

Good Luck... if your on a budget look at ebay and classifieds sections.

He's right don't waste your money until you get the heads and cam and match everything up or your going to have problems................Good luck!!
