I still see people installing these Intake Manifolds....I thought they were not recommended due to them losing a ton of low end TQ!? SO why are they still being installed!?
Who's tune did you go with!? Too bad you couldnt do before & after dyno runs!
Let us knwo how it feels when you get to drive it!

Did it come with that huge insulation piece that goes underneath the runners? Or you just left that open?

Question from the non-5.0 guy. Do you have to get new coil covers now or can you still use the ones that you just had dipped?

Should be able to use the same ones. I think the Boss covers are just blue.

Didn't skin a knuckle, but did get a wicked paper cut.

Those are the WORST! Hopefully you were able to push through the pain and complete the task though.

No insulation under the runners. Might get the side covers to clean it up a bit under there.

I'd say 3 hours including downloading the new tunes and uploading to the car. It's really not a bad job.
