typhone is a crapy edlebrock knock off. the casting job is pretty bad, they have casting goobers all through out the runnings and dont flow much better than the gt40/cobra intake from what i understand. you cant get cheap and performance dont really go together. getting cheap stuff leads to either low hp numbers or breaking stuff. my 2 cents go with something better

yea, since u said money is a prob, just wait longer to save up some more and get urself a good manifold, so ur not happy with the low gains and have 2 do it a 2nd time, get ur self a trickflow or systemax or the bbk manifold. with all the mods in my signature i raced a 99 trans am with flowmasters and kn intake and we tied and there 320hp stock, though my car is stick and lighter it was a pretty good outcome considering my car is 225 stock

you put a better intake on and youll make more power with less boost

Have you ever put one of the on you car???? If not do not knock something till you try it. I have the p/p t/b on my car along withthere harmonic balancer. I got my t/b from UPR and i paid $140 came w/t TPS sensor and egr plat and it came w/t the adjustable tps. Oh and gaskets.. The balancer 100 bucks and all works great could not gotten a better deal b/s getting them used but for brand new that's bad ***..
